You're getting downvoted but you're seeing the big picture.
The way elections work now, Democrats know they don't have to cater to coastal cities. They got the big EC votes in the bag as long as they pay minimal lip service
Not so much because "vote blue no matter who", moreso "republicans are verifiably, objectively evil and the system is rigged to prevent a third party from succeeding, so this is the only choice".
No, the real battle is the purple states.
When you consider the current media landscape (and mainly the fact that nearly all local and national broadcast, and print media, and major social media, is owned by pedos or pedo sympathizers), I sincerely do not think that a progressive message will be able to penetrate that information bubble deep enough to get the state.
So they gotta cast a net that appeals to a majority of those voters.
Which is probably not possible with a PoC or any body who sits to pee, which is another problem all together.
This is all also assuming a free and fair election, which I'm having more doubts on every day.
It's an ml instance. The downvotes are the only way you know you're getting it right. ;)
If there is a fair and free election, it will be because the current administration has failed to corrupt the system, which is a fleeting chance at best
How did has that big picture thinking worked out for them? Considering they couldn't take the presidency or either chamber of Congress, it doesn't look like it's worked so swell. Egads, could it be that the holy DNC has screwed up and it's their fault? Heavens, no, it must be the ignorant peasants, too feeble of mind to understand the profound strategems of the DNC.
Your missing the other possible reason why Republicans got the trifecta: the country is shifting right.
That's likely because the Dems hadn't invested in their own propaganda machine. But it helps that most of the country is sexist xenophobes.
Dems can't fight that. They absolutely suck at messaging.
