I would say you're underestimating the power of a numerical advantage. 51-49, or 52-48, or 55-45 whichever it is, means defeat for the lower number. Is defeat an acceptable outcome? Will the Democratic party be satisfied with getting 48% of the vote from now on? Will losing be acceptable to the Democratic party from now on?

How do they go about securing the winning percentage of the vote, instead of the losing percentage, in the next election?
