Because no one respectable wants any part of what they are offering.
All their candidates are utter garbage, GOP is gaining 10+ seats from redistricting alone, and millions of their voters are getting deported. I could keep going.

passing the SAVE Act would have been, and perhaps still could be, devastating.
it's almost as if Dem power was propped up by open borders, illegal voting, the shadowy re-circulation of tax payer money, media bias, and judicially created districting along racist lines.

Grok: Democrats gained a net of 41 seats in the 2018 U.S. House elections (per detailed tallies like Wikipedia), or 40 seats (per sources like Ballotpedia and NYT that adjust for pre-election composition).
This flipped control of the House from Republicans to Democrats, resulting in a 235–199 (or 235–200) Democratic majority in the 116th Congress.

Voters seem a lot more pissed at Trump now than in 2018, still seem quite likely to take the House.

There's fewer competitive seats so a 2018 wave is closer to a 25 seat net gain. But yeah, I think there's pretty heavily favored to take the house given the GOP's slim majority.
Isn't the gap in poll and net positives actually lower for Dems this round compared to 2018? And this isn't a reflection of cons doing great as much as shitlibs still suck.
