The post-election narratives blaming down ballot loss on activists outside the party have to be understood as a way for the consultant class (which made millions from losses) & sclerotic party leadership to deflect blame. Only suckers take it literally.https://twitter.com/ryanlcooper/status/1337793595236114440 …
No: GOP does that in every election ever. GOP has painted Dems as socialists from FDR to Obama and pro-d crime since 1968. Only distinction between Trump and earlier GOP candidates is he draws more from non-college & drives out college & is so polarizing that turnout increased.

In the past you didn’t have Democrats actually associating with unpopular positions giving credence to the allegations i.e. “socialism” or “defund the police”.

Wrong. In fact social welfare programs were always unpopular with large parts of the population and "defund the police" polls better now than "civil rights protests" did in 1963. Politics means fighting hard battles (except for centrist Dems who are lazy).
