Please pardon the sexist reference, but I need to explain why it is that Democrats are about to get their asses kicked in November. I can explain it in ten letters (plus a few spaces):
VOTING BASE.
The Democrats don't give a flying fuck about their base, and will do anything to convince the American public that they will abandon their base to pacify the American public. Unfortunately, the Democrats believe that the American world looks every bit like the world of the Republicans, but they are JUST FUCKING WRONG. The American public looks JUST like the Democratic party. Unfortunately, the Dems don't understand this.
