So this past election showed that Democrats should never run on policy again

Since everything is based on vibes and just lying to voters. Why wouldn’t Democrats just take a populist position, then when zero policies are passed, just gaslight the public into believing you’re fighting for them and rinse and repeat.

You could argue that you might lose the midterms but you’d only be out of power for 2 years and then boom slide back into office. Democrats should just run a fake populist and it doesn’t matter if they get anything done because people don’t actually pay any attention. Just invest in a 24/7 social media campaign to find people to carry water for you. Donors have nothing to worry about because all the voters want is performative, not actual substance. Trump showed on immigration people don’t actually care to address an issue they just want something to focus their anger on.
