People keep pointing to this, ignoring that the Republicans expanded their Senate totals in 2018, which led to Trump appointing additional Supreme Court judges.

What led to those appointments is Dems don't play the bullshit games Republicans play when it comes to nominating and voting on judicial candidates. It's one of the areas they are most disappointingly ineffectual in because they allowed McCon to just steal Garland's nomination vote for 8 months cause "muh election", then made no real opposition to Gorsuch, who replaced Scalia, they had a laughable hearing for Kavanaugh, and rammed Barrett through 2 weeks before Trump lost an election with Feinstein hugging Graham and saying it was the best hearing she'd ever been to or something.

Even if the Dems had a supermajority in 2018 they'd still have voting on Trump's candidates and most likely would still vote for their approval.

What led to Trump getting those judges is him winning in 2016 because people didn't accept him for the threat he was even though millions of us were saying it since 2015.

Dems don't need unforced errors. And right now, Biden's response to this war has been a huge unforced error.

You are forgetting that the US gen electorate has a very short memory when it comes to politics. This conflict is still happening a year away from the election. As long as it doesn't drag on too long and if the U.S. can successfully negotiate the ceasefire/an actual resolution to this, there's a lot that can happen until then.

Like I said in another recent post, none of these elections have been about liking Biden, it's been about rejecting Trumpism and the extremity of the Christo-fascist GOP.
