I'm an old goat born right after WWII. I remember when the Democratic Party was known as the big tent party. Nothing much mattered, ideology, race, income, age, you name it. If you said you were a Democrat, by god you were and were welcomed. Of course back then both parties had their liberal and conservative wings, a whole complete different era. No litmus test required.
Yeah, the democrats look like they will cruise to control of the House and the senate isn't out of possibilities. But they will win as you pointed on only a anti-Trump campaign with no ideas, no substance, no solutions to problems, no vision. How well that bodes for the future only time will tell. Here is how Americans view the democrats, only 37% of all Americans think the democratic party stands for something, something of substance, core values in other words. But 52% of all Americans just view the democratic party as being the anti Trump party, no ideas, no substance, no core values, no visions.

I think being anti-Trump will be enough for this one election. But not for future elections. What the Democrats need to do, instead of going right off the deep end with their ultra liberal agenda, is to listen to the people. It's not hard. Listen to the people. The Democrats didn't in 2010 and that resulted in a 63 seat loss in the house and 6 senate seats. The GOP isn't listening today, they're too busy following Trumpism and paying America as a whole no heed. We'll have another 2010, only in reverse.
When the democrats take back the house, I suggest they better start listening. If not, their span of controlling the house may be shorter than their 2006-2010 reign.
