Don't get frustrated w me for being stupid but I'm not understanding... if Dems aren't supposed to look at the data, they're (we're?) supposed to go by gut? Whose gut? I mean they suck right now so how to learn and improve?

The data is important! The idea that it can tell us everything and help us triangulate our positions to attract the ideal amount of voters has consistently proven wrong, though. Instead, it’s led us to a perfectly message-tested all-time low in our popularity, and that seems really bad.
I’ve been trying to figure out a good metaphor for this but the most succinctly I can put it right now is that we have a serious over-reliance on data-driven politics which seems to have cost us much of our human appeal.
It wasn’t necessarily data driven. Within the campaign Biden and those loyal to Biden incessantly pressured her to have no daylight between she and Biden on any issues. It was clear though from her one on one meeting with Netanyahu in July that she would have struck a different tone.
