why you and I think Democrats keep losing. Very clearly, we have diametrically opposing views on this:
- Aspiring to be a nicer, gentler version of the pre-MAGA Republican Party makes the Democratic Party a vague facsimile, and not a genuine alternative.
- Setting the narrative in your own terms matters a lot. Lack of messaging in service of that is one of Democrats' chronic failure. So are lack of imagination and reluctance to attack Republicans on their perceived strengths.
Ergo, as far as I am concerned, the key is not to continually dilute and moderate your (= the Democratic Party) views, but to step up and provide a better framing and be aggressive about pushing that point of view as a true alternative.
I have no doubt that you see it very very differently.
