Not talking about social policies.

In the sense that they were seeing their union base disappearing, debt pressure rising, and being always saddled with the false description that they were only about "tax and spend", and that Republicans were the only party to make the 'hard' decisions and be responsible financially. (which was a joke of course) None the less, that theory persisted. And the DLC wanted to put a curb on that.

You need to do some research. Again, Democrats invented it. And so they own it. It has nothing to do with Russia. Other than Putin's troll farm would use any line they heard that they could propagate as a cyber weapon to cause division.
