Republicans were (in theory) on the losing side in 2022 - there was supposed to be a "red wave" that never materialized. They won (again) this time around by fully embracing being exclusionary. Seems to me Dems need to stop trying to attract those people (I think I read that Harris managed to get less than 5% of them, while losing something approaching 15% in Democrat voters), and instead focus on being an exclusionary antithesis to them. If we're going to be a two party system, then make them polar opposites rather than just a lite version of the same side (within practical limits, of course).
