The media is the entity making that decision, not the Democrats. It doesnt matter how coherent and compelling a policy vision they present; its not going to outcompete Trump for attention. When policy did break through, it was in response to a terrible Trump policy (kids in cages, trying to kill the ACA, etc).


It's up to Democrats to make their appeal to the American public. Blaming the media will get them nowhere. Republicans complained about unfair media coverage for decades but it got them nowhere until Trump decided to do something about it and started using Twitter as his primary means of communication with the public.

I'm saying they can't. They're fucked if their goal is to shift the conversation to policy; nobody can compete with Trump for attention. That being the case, impeachment does not have the downside of pulling focus from policy; the attention was never going to be there in the first place.
