While this is true, there are also plenty of things that are clearly popular with voters on both sides (federal legalization of marijuana being a primary example) that Democrats haven't been willing to tackle with anywhere near the effort they should.

Plus, it's just going to have to be a slow, gradual process. We can't expect to convert to Social Democracy overnight, but even putting in an effort to dispel a lot of the misinformation going on around things like universal healthcare or workers' rights would bring these ideas into the mainstream.

I think the first thing they need to do is remove the filibuster. But if they do do, they need to make sure they fucking win congress. Needing 67 voted to pass anything of worth is just to high a hurdle.
