Democrats remain vulnerable to the right's framing on an endless series of ginned-up moral panics.
Dems' instinct is always to meet the right halfway on whatever bullshit they've cooked up.
This is a result of not have their own policy platform beyond diet fascism and slightly less corruption.

So neoliberals serving concentrated capital interests always normalize and enable any way they can.
Some even then write books about how they took a fundraising stand in resistance.

Capitulation just alienates chunks of your own voter base by signaling to them that you're willing to sell them down the river for an ever-receding "average voter" who exists only on a spreadsheet.
It’s called the Overton Window and it’s 100% real.
The GOP, on the other hand, has actively worked to SHAPE public opinion for decades, so of course the Dems are led around
And if those voters don’t turn out it’s a sign they need to go further right to court non-existent swing voters
It's not a lack of a messenger
It's the lack of a message
They certainly don't care about any value-based policies intended to help citizens.
-The Dems, always.
