It’s all about goddamn messaging with liberals. They couldn’t possibly be wrong or unpopular, they’re just misunderstood! They just need to convince everyone what’s best for them! Drives me absolutely insane.

TBH we've known this since at least the 80s when republicans hired an actor to do all their Presidential work for them.

The Democratic consultants are really, really bad at messaging. Always have been.

Because Democratic politicians don't believe in anything other than protecting their wealthy donors. Neoliberalism is a cancer, and progressivism/socialism is the way to defeat it. The neoliberals will do anything in their power to protect their wealthy donors, even if that means letting Republicans win, because they would rather see a Republican win than a socialist gain any sort of power.

Hell, they even fight against very mild social democratic politicians like Bernie Sanders.
