I am so fed up with the argument "Don't address problems on the left coz it feeds the right." It isn't enough to point out the problems on the other side & call people names for voting for them. Isn't this clear yet? To get elected, the left needs to be credible & respectworthy.
I don't see why. The difference is tiny and Trump has been disastrous so far. Any steps towards appearing more reasonable, more concerned about working class issues, less wedded to identity politics, more focus on the policies of Trump & less on name-calling Trumpists cld do it.

Could, probably wouldn’t. You’d lose a lot of votes on the left by abandoning those issues. ID politics are emotionally driven as I’m sure you understand. If Dems went back to focusing more on economic issues the left would completely fissure. Look how many votes 3rd party in 16

Obama made it work! Strongly critical of IdPol.

House races, which are always highly variable and local by nature, should be an easy way for Dems to capitalize on this idea of dropping ID politics yet it’s not working despite outright anti-pelosi rhetoric & healthcare focus among others. They’re projected to gain 34 seats. 1/2

2/2 which is very low given everything that’s happened. R’s gained almost twice that in 2010
