Dems were able to get Biden over the hurdle ONLY because of the COVID crisis started which allowed for an Anti-Trump campaign to be launched due to poor handling, well as the fact that may registered democrats and even some moderate republicans actually want Biden to govern as a moderate. However the above is Definitely NOT the goal of the DNC...

You seem to be proposing a bad Democratic agenda as such is easier to defeat than their real agenda.

I would include addressing systematic racism, the ever increasing imbalance of wealth, global warming as well as the bug as problems Trump refused to handle that the Democrats want to confront.  It falls out of what was argued about for the overly long unraveling.  The problems are more severe in urban areas, there is a pent up demand to solve them, while the small government, low taxes and me first elites have resisted solutions.  

The tensions were building.  COVID was the trigger.  But the old values being displaced in a large crisis seems almost inevitable.  It has always happened.  What is different is that the major powers usually get involved in a crisis war.  Nukes, insurgency, and proxy wars have made crisis wars a bad option.

The Democrats have four years to provide enough solutions to be given four more.  

The Republicans have to get their voting base back from Trump.  He is a loser.  If they don’t seize back the party, the anti Trump feeling will still be there.  He will lose.  Thus far, the way the establishment is going along with the silly election stealing lawsuits, the Republican establishment are not even fighting for control.  They are just going along with Trump.

Now you have provided a scenario of allegedly sensible compromise.  I could go with Trump being defeated rather than the Boomers and SJWs.  I would have the agenda being cutting the imbalance of wealth, reducing systematic racism, cutting global warming and curing the bug.  Perhaps blending the two agendas will be part of your sensible compromise.  We already have quite the military budget, a lot of nukes, and are containing Iran and China.  You are suggesting the Republican agenda rather than anything like a sensible compromise.

But first things first.  I guess the Supreme Court has the ball.  Biden has to step in.  We will see if Trump remains dominant within the Republicans.  We will see what his debt and legal problems lead to.  All that will shape what sensible compromises are possible.
