The mainstream narrative is that Democrats never speak up and argue forcefully, which is easy to believe although the media game of perception is rigged by the conservative owners.
In their closed circuit all the strong voices either have their mikes shut off by the Orallies or they lose their jobs for saying what they think. The minute they cross the corporate mantra they're out of there.
So the perception for those who don't think a little deeper is that Democrats are weak is fostered through the silencing of those who really are not weak.
To the point is that Democrats/would be Democrats buy into it because it's where their learning ends. If one doesn't work with Democrats in person, it's easy to buy the well-paid for perception that's being sold.
