Think globally - Act locally

I'm probably talking more about image. you're right. How the party as a whole comes across before a federal election. How to get out the vote for those that don't normally vote. Or those that would vote, if there was a brand, sorry but its true, that they could support. I think partisan orgs like The Lincoln Project, or even individual SM platforms of reps like AOC, give hints about what the brand could be.

I'm of the belief that a lot of Americans do not like wishy washy politicians. And when they see Democrats arguing with each other about staying pat, or fighting for progressive goals....like the green new deal, that's how they see them. It feeds into Republican mottos for them as the Do Nothing Democrats. Sinema and Manchin are helping to extent that brand.

Whereas they see Republicans all speaking in unison. No matter even with truth or facts. They keep their base, and are always a threat to win, as in Virginia again, because they stick together, even if its a big lie. Like critical race theory is some commie plot to make white children feel bad.

We just say "come on man!" thinking they will be embarrassed and apologize and reverse course.

Biden should not apologize for calling out that reporter for instance. We have to put Republicans on their heels like they do to us. All the time. Every day. We have to go from them having a belly laugh at owning the libs every day, to watching them outraged and stuttering all over Fox News as pissed at some "outrageous statement by a Democrat" as they get at changes to M&Ms or Mr Potato Head.
