To be fair, Dems Senate recruitment is usually very good. People can hate Chuck Schumer but besides Sinema, he is very good identifying quality Senate candidates. Problem is people tell him no a lot. That happened in Maine. That happened in Montana.
But speaking nationally. I think the major problem is left media and left interest groups don't allow the Dems to modify their messaging to make them more relatable. Dems having to stick to their talking points and if they don't they are traitors to the cause no better than a Republican.
Like...
-Climate change isn't a electoral winner. But telling people more green energy means lower electric and gas bills is.
-Subsidize hybrids, and electric cars, build out a charging networks in power. No need to run on this though. They need to make it easy to choose and electric car. Not sell them on vibes
-Tell people you respect their 2nd amendment rights, what you want to do is go after gun trafficking. You want to go after illegal guns getting into the hands of criminals. You want to properly fund the ATF. Tell them the GOP wants to put guns in criminals hands. Dems want to make sure you aren't out gunned.
-Tell people you support good police work. You will fund good policing to keep communities safe. But you believe in Law and Order and police misconduct is illegal and any police found violating people's rights doesn't get a free pass. But police unions make this jobs extremely hard. They are a scourge.
-Go back to the "legal, safe, rare" framework for abortion messaging. That you want to protect a women's right to choose but your policy choices will be aimed at trying to decrease the amount of abortions that happen. Like you want more social workers to get girls that are being abused away from their abusers. Like I remember hearing a Dem say they are pro-choice but anti abortion as common thing when I first moved to America. Go back to that
-They have to moderate transgender issues. But really it is mainly the girls sports issues and hormone treatments for minor that are the major sticking points. But they have to handle this with grace. Don't be sounding like a Bill Maher level ******* about it. Protecting trans people is important, Dems need to commit to that, they need to be in power to do that.
-Yeah, Obama was right about the border. He wasn't an evil racist. Don't be cruel, use the extra capacity/money to process people faster, but they have to commit to order at the Southern border.
I could go on.
There is a way for Dems to sound way more credible and appealing.
But special interests groups police their messaging so damn much, and they group together in all-or-nothing demand of the national party.
Dems need to get back to sound like reasonable liberals, speaking in everyday language.
Like there are some groups in my state advocating that the party ban American flags from party events because it is a symbol of imperialism and white supremacy. I was at the meeting where this argument broke out. The reps from the Dem Party defending keep the flag were three black women and a naturalized Laiton man. The activist were mainly white
