This is a really good and insightful thread, and also I don't believe that even 5% of the people liking and retweeting it are actually involved in Democratic Party politics. That is, a huge part of why this stuff is the case is that even engaged Dem voters see the party as "they."

Couldn't be clearer that Democrats aren't a party in the way that Republicans are a party. The GOP has an ideological project. They build power to accomplish specific things. The project of the Democratic Party is getting Democrats reelected. 80-90+% of Congress is, so it doesn't take much effort.
