Too many establishment Dems have lost touch with ordinary middle-class Americans. That's fixable, but they need to do a better job of fixing it than they have so far. It's not about "messaging" better. It's about listening better, and then responding accordingly. And the clock is ticking.
Agreed.
And I don't give them enough credit to think your hypothesis about giving them enough rope is true. That would require strategic thinking, and we haven't seen that since Obama (coincidentally, the best POTUS of my lifetime, despite some blemishes).
The Dems have been mostly silent, and the few times Schumer opens his mouth are cringe-worthy. If he has outrage, he's really bad at vocalizing it. We can hope they are getting their act together, but I'm not optimistic at the moment. "Not-MAGA" will only get you so far, and only for a cycle or two until people forget how bad MAGA was.
