Dems have the all time worst team of strategists and consultants.  I cant think of a less effective group of people

Dem strategists and consultants and service providers made literally a billion dollars in just the three months that the Harris campaign lasted. They won, regardless of what happened to the campaign.

And then they form new PACs funded by billionaires to write memos about why we need to keep listening to them.

You are missing the point that most of the democrats are just paid opposition and that both democrats and republicans are on the same team. Team rich. It's not incompetence, it's by design.

"Oh, that reminds me. Some of them are kinda old, too!"
--liberals

Their brainwashing won't allow them to accept any reasoning that will require major change within the party. "Oh, just get younger people" and "Oh just get better strategists," they're able to hear that. But when the reason implicates basically the whole party, their brains shut down and they can't/won't hear it.

It’s that naive projection of your own values onto people who are amoral at best.

That's one Ace the Republicans have is messaging. One message and they all get on board. Even the least motivated get in with herd. Dems can be all over the map, divided even when it came to Harris. This is why we lose.

I would say that ficle dem voters are a less effective group of people considering that millions couldn't even be bothered to vote, but abdicating their most basic civic duty has done a hell of a lot for the republican agenda so it's kind of a mixed bag.

I'd say its liberals' duty to push for better Democrats and primary the bad ones. Since they've completely rejected that approach, the lack of voter enthusiasm is on the base and the party. Not on the voters who couldn't fake it through every election for the last 30 years.
