There is nothing the Democrats have to sell that is anywhere near as exciting as what Trump is offering.
Biden gave out a ton of student debt relief, for example. You'd think people would be thrilled. Instead they just shrugged.
What Democrats offer is basic good governance. That comes with incremental improvements.
Suppose that the Democrats had offered something really off-the-wall to appeal to its left wing, like completely ditching support for Israel over Gaza. How many votes do you think that would get them? And how many would they lose?
The closest the Democrats get is Obama, who offered a nebulously positive "Hope". That got a lot of enthusiasm, but very little got done. "Hope" consisted of bending over backwards to try to get Republicans to work with him. What he got was the opposite of that.
At this point, if somebody wants Trump -- or just doesn't care -- having been very clear about what he will do, I don't think there's anything to be done. The voters know what they want, and deserve to get it, good and hard.
