When we win,

9. Fear

No matter what we say or do, the right wing propaganda machine will spin it into something terrible. It is a losing proposition to adjust our agenda to what we imagine the right wing media might do in response. So long as we are an inch to the left from MAGA they will call us Marxists. Moving to the right will never solve that problem. We could abandon every left wing position and right wing media would still attack us.

I fully understand that my point of view on this is not likely to prevail. Fear and caution is baked in to the thinking of too many Democrats. "This is a center right country (which I don't think is true, but whatever) so therefore we need to tread lightly" simply guarantees that it will always be a center right country.
