You seem very uncharacteristically angry today.

But that aside, you haven't articulated any sort of platform either. The Democratic voters are notoriously lazy, especially in midterm elections, and aren't going to show up in tremendous numbers if there isn't something compelling to vote for. Hating the standing president alone didn't work for them in 2004, so I'm not buying that as a great motivator now.

in case it's not clear i am disappointed in their lack of platform

i just think your assumptions about the outcome are unrealistically optimistic

also it's not typical for opposition parties to have a platform

midterm turnout is about providing something to vote against.

they have that.
