The democrats are an organized train wreck...and pretty much always have been as long as I've been alive. They value style over substance and appeal to the most base instincts and feelings. Trash.

And one more point.

The democrat party is composed of a bunch of intellectual cowards.

Even the most partisan, dyed in the wool democrat knows we're headed for financial hard times. Yet to a man and woman they can't be straight with the American people and tell them, "Yes, we're going to have to consider austerity at some point as things aren't sustainable".

Instead they promise that things will just Totally Awesome yOu gUyS if we...just take all the money from these 4 or 5 people over there. In reality, after a Republican takes an unpopular stance (and takes the heat for it) the democrat will quietly continue the policy (after having loudly criticized it). Witness Joe Biden keeping a lot of Trump's tariffs on China after he took office.

The cowardice bleeds on down to your average left wing message board poster, who rarely will ack any structural issues that tax increases won't "fix". Never mind the money is always earmarked for some new thing instead of solving the structural issue.
