The problem of political "gridlock": based on senate representation numbers and polarization. Extremism has its political day. As long as GOP can elect a large minority or small majority, that's it, folks! The smorgasbord throw everything into the daily adversary buffet (Jorden et al) has often served the GOP well, the truth be damned. Misinformation is GOP DNA, not unusual in the "realpolitik" tradition. Rule with demonization of your enemies, emotions sway. 2024 may be very tough. I read a recent stats report that the youth (say up to 30+) support, so vital for Dem advances, is stalled or in decline, and hold out against Biden. Anyone want to help with info here would be appreciated. Dems must organize and message/engage loud and clear... and persistently
I have not seen that decline in young voters. They were have been energized by the lawlessness of the Repubs. They have Victor Shi who is a college student whose life changed in the Parkland shootings. There is also David Hogg, who Marjorie Three Names harrassed, who is active. Maxwell Frost, the youngest member of the House ever elected. The younger generation is tired of the bullshit about guns and other legislations not getting passed. They are organized and ready for battle. I look forward to their leadership.

Glad to hear. This may also be a "mid-term" tuning out, but it seemed to be "on" the Dems.
