Trying to win with good policy alone is nightmare mode hard.
The Democrats have been utterly unwilling to go towards popularism– to calling out the capitalist classes–as the problem, as exploiters.
Also the Democrats havent gotten a ton of chance to actually do much. The last time they had a trifecta was 2011. We got the ACA, which Dems attempted very very hard to make bipartisan, and ended up passing on their own anyways after making concession after concession in failed attempts to woo in some Republicans. The ultra conservative supreme court and court shopped to high hell 5th district have also kept any possible progress from happening. Running on talk alone is hard, in a system set up to only enable obstruction & de-governance.
