I agree with your arguments. Democrats have been too reliant on polls and consultants to shape their policies and strategies.
I see the Whitmer / AOC-Bernie situation differently. (Newsom gets no pass.) A governor has responsibilities that Congress people do not. Whitmer asked for the meeting to get federal relief for Michiganders still out of power after an ice storm. She couldn’t nope out of it. Was it naive to think she wouldn’t be sandbagged? Perhaps. I don’t know that this incident harms her in the long run. It’s not like she’s finding topics on which to agree with Bannon or Charlie Kirk.
You nailed it, as usual. The strategy needs to be to do everything possible to stop the agenda that trump is rolling out. Cozying up to fascists and their apologists is the exact opposite of what we need to do.

Hear, hear!
Now I am wondering how hard it might be to link fascism to the plan by Silicon Valley to run everything by AI.
Naomi Klein presses the point that using so much energy to run data centers is “draining our real world“ to create a fake one.
Something there sounds linkable to fascism.
Right on target. Thank you
