the whole 'dems need a unified message' is some rule of thumb that people have latched on to but isnt really based on anything.

when dems had a wave election 2006...what was the party message? nothing really. anti-bush sentiment drove voters.

when repubs had a wave election in 2010...what was the party message? nothing really. anti-obama sentiment drove voters.

and anti-trump sentiment is gonna drive voters in the 2018 midterm elections. it has already driven the historical results/turnouts we have seen in elections thus far. and dems were typically the voter base that tended to stay home in these type of elections.

and saying dems are running on *just* anti-trump shit is being obtuse or willfully dismissive. dems are running on real issues like education, healthcare, gun control, worker protections, climate change, etc. meanwhile repubs are running on nancy pelosi, ms-13, transgender bathrooms, and swamp draining lol.
