The Partisan Divide on Issues

Of course, when Democrats don't do this appointed job sufficiently well, the voters say, oh well, let the bosses rule.

You've hit on one of my major pet peeves: Democrats seem unable to stir themselves to action; Republicans can't seem to stop.  This year, there are several GOP-centric anti-Trump activist groups working hard to put the man out on the street.  They're putting up a steady stream of ads, and putting them where they know they'll count the most.  Where are the Democrats?  More to the point: where is their anger?  

When the GOP held the House, they ran non-stop investigations -- mostly of Hillary.  Once impeachment ended, the Dems, in a similar position, just went to sleep. People notice -- especially those folks who need convincing.  So far, the Dems are on autopilot.  Autopilot may win this year, but just winning isn't the point.  They need to dominate, and it's a role they don't embrace.  Pity.
