It seems to me that a great way to lose elections is to commit to civility and bipartisanship in an era of record polarization among the electorate.
The Dems seem to think they can make politics less polarized by leading from the top? Meanwhile they GOP wins because they listen to their voters and appeal to that polarization.
I think this has everything to do with the GOP being much, much younger on average.

Like we literally watched a GOP insurrection beat people to death in an effort to overturn our government to get their way... and the Dems dragged their feet on an investigation, insisting on bipartisanship. Do they really not realize how that looks to their voters???
Ideally the Dems would have passed bills that delivered on their platform, but it's not like they haven't tried; Manchin and Sinema have been intractible.
The unforced errors are where they didn't need Manchin and Sinema, like the 1/6 committee for example.
