going to change their approach this year?
It has become a rather knee-jerk strategy, even down to the lowliest Democrat suck-up, to simply refuse to argue at all. Virtually NONE will logically defend their policies or ideas.
They will not engage at all in persuasion. The MOST they will do is hit-and-run. So their election strategy has NOT been to persuade the skeptics, but to turn out the faithful.
Democrats usually assume that they win elections though turnout rather than persuasion. It’s not a crazy proportion, by any means. But it looks like a losing approach for 2024.
