In reply to the discussion: James Carville worried Dems set to lose over social issues [View all]uponit7771
(90,335 posts)66. Not from democrats running as a platform it wont, its false to claim that dems made DTP a part of
... the 2020 platform, they didn't.
I have googled the phrase and it wasn't part of the DNC platform and like I said in the previous post few if any ran on it.
It was a kGQP attribution to dems and the fact that I'm telling people on DU that it wasn't part of the 2020 DNC platform and few totally ran on the action means the kGQP was successful.
Democrats need a messaging / feedback infrastructure that exceeds the kGQP instead of blaming slogans that no one ran on for losses in 2020
