Fear and hate (of Trump) was all the Dems were selling too… They literally ran (again) on a platform of “at least we’re not him” and that’s about it… But the Dems will never outsell Republicans on fear and hate, and they shouldn’t even try because the people who might vote for them aren’t looking for fear and hate
This is basically the only thing they tried… You’re saying they should have just tried harder at what they were already doing… In reality they needed an entirely different approach

It isn’t tunnel vision. What this man has for sale is feeling emboldened to use the N-word, and his supporters have shown repeatedly they are willing to tear the world to shreds for the tiniest hit of that shit.
trump doesn’t sell ‘policy’ or ‘vision’ or even the ‘concept’ of either.
he sells fear and hate.
and ~ 30-40% of the population is feasting on all he can dish up.

This is the tunnel vision that causes Dems to lose. This is simply a useless analysis if your goal is to crush the election and win.
You can be defeatist or get practical. We know Trump is beyond bad. He’s outselling. How do we win?
By selling his option as worse. Advertise how it would affect them. Tell them how much his policies cost. Sell it.
