In my opinion, this is all for the Democrats to win, or lose. The Republicans aren't having to do anything to win.
But the Dems have certainly been saying and doing plenty over the last 8 years to lose.
The Democrat Party needs to turn that ship around.

The Democrats are in a place where they can turn themselves around and make some serious gains in the process. They have a POTUS that is extremely unpopular among Democrats and Republicans that seem to be in a bit of chaos and ramming through shitty legislature just to say they have done it. Like you say, if the Democrats focus on working middle-class people and they explain to them how they can help, they can do well. The problem is they haven't seemed to learn and are still allowing themselves to be pulled into a culture war that makes them look like they care more about where someone pees than if someone can get a job.
