When Republicans have a win, they don't celebrate or message on it here and there. They repeat it at nauseum to make sure the American people, and more importantly those swing voters hear it and think it's true. Democrats don't do that, they message on it here and there, but for the most part they let Republicans take the steering wheel on the narrative. Democrats believe the facts will speak for itself, and that the American people are paying attention to the fact

The problem is, is that "the left" don't allow democrats to run on that message. Because it's such a huge tent party, you can't really get that same level of behavior you can with the right. Look at any topic on here, and it's a microcosm of what has been going on with "the left" for decades. Point out X as a positive and suddenly people pop up and say well who cares because Y is still a problem and now everyone has to swarm around Y and worry about that when X is still floundering. Then when you get to a point where you can say Y is ok, other people go "Well what about Z? You can't even fix X and you expect us to think you can fix Z too?" It's something the right have been able to exploit with gish galloping. Just toss out a bunch of shit and "the left" will try to address all of them while they cackle and move on to their next 9 different things they are rat fucking.
