Yes, Dems need to address their blind spots head-on. But they also need to learn to trumpet their successes. I mean lord it over Republicans every chance they get. I will never understand how Dems have the support of the creative communities yet can be so poor at self promotion .
Agreed, but Dems should not be letting the right co-op traditional liberal positions. "Oh, you have the backing of the unions? Okay, here's a worker's rights bill. Let's pass it."..."Make American economy like the 1950s? OK, let's raise the top marginal tax rate to 93% again, just like the 50s!",etc
Part of the problem, I suspect, is that Dems frame themselves in contrast with Republicans (and Trump especially) with "We're actually working, so you don't have to hear about us every single day!" And that is appealing to a lot of people. But Trump taking credit for everything often sticks.
