I’ll admit @Chrkeller was right. Democrats are terrible messengers and they need to simply hammer down on economic issues that resonate with people who are struggling, basically what Bernie Sanders was trying to sell.
He supports progressive social issues but his main message was always about things like increasing wages, strengthening unions, bringing back outsourced jobs, fighting against the establishment, etc. In an election year where the cost of living was the main concern that people had, this message would likely have done much better.
When people feel like the economy and their quality of life is good then you can focus on social issues but when people are struggling to afford rent and groceries, trans issues and abortion aren’t going to sway them.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
