Part of the problem is that Democrats' coalition in the past few years has been really inefficient. Hillary got California to swing left by 7 points, and Biden got similar swings from Maryland and Massachusetts. That does jack for them in the Electoral College and Senate. And while Texas may be getting closer, it still has a ways to go before it actually flips.

Their Senate majority in the 113th Congress included Arkansas, Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota and South Dakota. All of these states used to regularly elect Democratic Senators, but are now pretty much out of reach. They need to figure out why that is. And of course, they've continued to fall short in Florida and North Carolina. These states are only light red. If they can hold onto a Senate seat in West Virginia, arguably the Trumpiest state in the country, there's no excuse for losing one in Florida in the same cycle.

They have the same issues in states. In Wisconsin, Democrats are almost entirely packed into Milwaukee and Madison. Maybe I'm wrong, but in a fair map, I feel like it's just not really possible to draw a third Democratic-leaning congressional district.
