The fundamental problem with Dem messaging is that they are making it crystal clear they don’t take seriously their own rhetoric about the existential threat Trump poses. Which is perverse, because it’s true. But if they don’t why should anyone else?

Analogising, it's now laywers vs jackals

IMV it's a mistake to think the Dems can do much that is useful; and unrealistic to think they can transform into a useful organisation in any useful timeframe
Democrats stand for nothing except staying in power. Just a bunch of hollow suits who think occupying a seat is radical work.
It’s not D vs R, it’s $$$$ vs $.
$0 for consultants.
I would just rule out anyone who wants to “find common ground” with elected Republicans while looking askance at progressive Democrats.

Pied pipering, elevating Trumpian candidates they think can’t win, is part of their strategy because they care more about the status quo than being popular

"Show we can govern, that'll be the best revenge against Trump" said the DC consultant seconds before ID-less goons shoved him into an unmarked van
I'm not convinced that's necessarily a good strategy, I'm just saying it's the only thing that makes sense in context
Sucks, but that does seem baked in to human nature.
