Basically whatever the Republicans are doing, but on the opposite side of policy. Get candidates that people actually like and push popular policy. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden weren’t it, neither was an infrastructure bill or whatever it was Harris pushed for. Get people excited and rally the party around them.
The best shot dems had recently was Bernie Sanders, but they sandbagged him in favor of Hillary Clinton.
I largely agree with you. The Democratic party is a disaster. The evergreen tactic of throwing the coalition under the bus in order tack to the middle for some imagined Reagan Democrat vote that doesn’t exist is infuriating and the policy that results is dogshit.
The only part I would argue with is that Old Joe ended up with policy that looked a whole lot more progressive than I thought he ever would. I think he deserves a lot of credit for trying. If he could have defended his policy with the voice of a young modern progressive, people would think much higher of his accomplishments.
What would that look like in real terms?

But no, dems instead prefer infighting.

But yea, I agree with you.
