Democrats need a massively leftward and populist shift to differentiate themselves from Republicans in the eyes of uninformed voters

In the eyes of informed voters too.

Democrat leadership

It's the Democratic Party.

The US just elected a child rapist, and convicted felon, who praised Hitler's generals and said he wants to be a dictator. Oh, and he also wants to ahave everyone who ever stood against him murdered. Only 30% of eligible voters actively tried to stop it.
If you thought the Dems were conservative before, just wait and see how far right they can jump in order to chase the only group that will show up to the polls every damn time, no matter how stupid, or how fake and repeatedly disproven the reason is.

If the Democratic response to a dumb plan failing over and over is going to be "do it harder" again, then I guess America is just over. Republicans are what Republicans are. Voters are what voters have always been. We can blame them all we want, but it won't get us anywhere. We fix the Democratic party, or try to survive until reconstruction.
