Democrats lose because 1) they are political chickenshits who are afraid to do or say anything that someone will disagree with 2) spend way too much time and money listening to DC consultants telling them what issues are important rather than listening to what the people in their districts say is important, and 3) don't really believe in or perhaps even understand many of the issues they campaign on. Their botched rollout of the ACA demonstrated that most of them had no idea of what health care costs or how provider networks, deductibles, and co-pays work. And they also seemed to not know that you can't sell people on a new, untried program that they won't benefit from for 2-4 years. Even now, when nearly 2/3 of voters want government health insurance for everyone, Democrats are still afraid to support it. The voters understand that their health care is being compromised as their premium dollars go to line the pockets of the insurance companies, but their Congresspeople don't seem to have caught on to that. Basically, the Democratic Party is just stupid and inept and cowardly.
