There was nothing to fight about regarding abortion on the Left because it was protected by Roe. Do you think that pushing for a federal law regarding abortion would animate voters for decades? Broadly speaking, though, Democrats do need to improve on messaging and rallying the troops.

Evan:

Don't waste your time. Tom must have gotten lost on the way to Daily Kos. His attitude is just the kind of brain dead, lack of reality thinking that predominates that site. (Why I left).

When they are not arguing over whether those who oppose continued use of the term "Latin X" are more racist or sexist, or, whether AOC should run for POTUS in 2024 or 2028, they spend much of their time yelling at the Democratic Party for not being progressive enough. Yet, when it is pointed out that every time a "true progressive" runs for the Dem Nomination for POTUS they lose, they start yelling and saying the process was rigged because something.....

Its like arguing with my teenager, who is a big Bernie supporter. Ultimately, I just stopped trying to talk to him about it and decided to respond to each of his half-witted diatribes with "will see". That has the benefit of (i) keeping my blood pressure down, and (ii) raising his, which puts a smile on my face :)
