  Yes, the Democratic party is terrible at avoiding dumb issue traps that are unpopular. But the public dissemination of these positions is very conservative media driven. Counterfactual: if progressive media had been as dominant as conservative media is, everyone would have spent the last 4 years hearing about government infrastructure spending and Project 2025. In reality, you instead heard a relentless drumbeat of easily attackable Democratic positions, with nary a peep about Republican extremes. So, yes, Democrat fault for having those positions in the first place. But the de facto situation is mostly created by conservative-dominated media being able to repeatedly broadcast those to an uninformed public.
