They definitely need to campaign more on what Biden and Harris accomplished over the last four years - there is a lot of good to pull from. Hopefully, they will start to do that now that this whole nomination crisis is (hopefully) subsiding.
One problem they need to overcome is the problem of Trump himself; anything with his name in it instantly gets more traction than anything else. Anecdotally, I noticed this even in the fediverse; posts about policy are much more quiet, whereas posts about Trump (or republican craziness in general) tend to have much more activity.
The problem Trump poses is everyone, whether they love him or hate him, tunes in to listen. I’d wager that is part of the democrats messaging problem and they need to figure out how to spread messages about their accomplishments outside of Trump, while also contending with the reality that messaging with Trump spreads the farthest.
Biden had a pretty solid four years, so it’s absolutely insane that he’s being ousted and the guy who killed over a million Americans through incompetence and malice, and left the country in literal flames, is polling hire. It’s insane!
If that’s the case with trump traction, then they need to be spreading messages about all the damage that fuckwit caused, not leaning hard on this vague “defeat him” campaign. Half of American voters don’t know shit from Shinola, TELL THEM why trump is a bad idea. Directly tell them. The high road is headed straight to hell.
