by dems, do you mean strictly the dnc?

dems fielded a competitive candidate in deep red alabama (sessions ran uncontested his last election).

black turnout was at barack obama presidential election levels in an off year special election.

and even tho hillary clinton lost...she put together a coalition of majority blacks, majority hispanics, majority millenials, more women, and more college educated and suburban whites. thats an even broader coalition than obama and exactly who is putting dems over the top in these elections. if these groups continue to turn out for dems, they could carry the country for an entire generation (especially once millenials hit gen x turnout levels).

seems like a lot dems could be proud of.

theyve announced theyre contesting virtually every state seat in heavily gerrymandered texas (along with senate and governor). if that aint a sign, i dont know what is lol.
