Then the democrats need to start promoting their platform more and more rather than focusing on trump. Talking and tweeting about Trump all day and night isn't a recipe for long term success

Voters need to force Democrats to the Left. The Democrats need to get people to vote. Those are two related but different issues.

Democrats wont have an issue with turnout until Trump is gone. That's the period I'm talking about. They can trot almost anyone up there right now and be competitive. It was a unique case but look at Doug Jones (who I haven't heard from since he got elected). He's not a progressive in any way whatsoever.

It's up to the party and who they push in primaries and where they allocate their funds to pull the voters to the left. AOC won her primary and Obama didn't endorse her in his first wave of endorsements. He may eventually, but there was no reason not to put his stamp of approval on her other than a hesitation to bring the party further left. That's indicative of a lack of long term foresight

You and I are going to go in circles about this. But I think the thinking in the quote is part of the reason of how we got where we are today.
