Oh, and one other thing:

It was evident from Sara's focus groups that republicans hate democrats way more than democrats hate republicans. Democrats have also been dealing with republican obstruction and voter suppression efforts for years. The new converts among the Never Trumpers are seeing republican voter suppression with clear eyes for the first time and it shocks and sickens them. So it is understandable that they see this as THE issue in 2022 and want it front and center.

Democrats, on the other hand, see the republicans doing their thing figure they've been there done this before which could explain why they see pushing domestic policy items as higher priority. Democratic voters, again from Sara's focus groups, are more interested in getting legislation passed. They are laser focused on hating republicans. I think that changes dramatically if Trump is the 2024 nominee.
