Similarly, only a handful of democrats (and ex-democrats) are actually doing anything to make big public statements, to direct people as to what a useful usage of their energies could be.
Oh, and they could do things like not put David Hogg as a vice chair in a way that not only looks corrupt, but far more importantly has absolutely no strategic sense at all -- who asked for that guy?! He's looked like a complete idiot at virtually every debate he's been to, believes in virtually nothing except total gun control conveyed in a sanctimonious, tactless, trivially hateable manner that instantly alienates many americans who might be willing to listen to nearly anyone else in context of all that's going on... I could keep going, the point is this is a guy with absolutely no redeeming qualities except his well-off family with a father in the FBI, which just confirms narratives while not even providing an otherwise competent person.
Most importantly though, they don't know how to fix their behavior or optics as a conservative-lite party that only moves to the right now, that only "compromises" by giving ground for nothing in return.
If you're a socialist
If you're LGBTQ
If you're an environmentalist
If you're single-issue on healthcare
If you're bothered by the situation in Palestine
If you're a voting reformer
If you're any one of these things
Then you have NOTHING at this point, just a party where people who tried to speak for you and usually did so tactlessly and poorly, then started blaming you for the election saying "if only we were a little more conservative! Then we would have won the election!"
Sorry for the rather rambling post, but I think it should do a good job of expressing the core anger and dissatisfaction that's being felt, and why they're both not doing enough + look unpalatable to a huge chunk of their own voters now.
