I think you misunderstand me, what I am rhetorically asking is why Democrats are seemingly incapable of manufacturing the same discontent for their own purposes. Obviously not looking up to the republicans, however tried and true their playbook is, but the dems have been outwardly afraid of critisizing their own even when there's any given political or moral imperative. See: Biden stepping down at the last convieveable moment, thus not conducting primary elections even when he initially ran for one term.

On the contrary, see: "RHINOs", to an almost militant capacity they rooted out any potential adversaries in their own party to further their aganeda, simutaniously feeding narratives of party righteousness and locking in the rhetoric to their base of support. The dems couldn't be bothered to ecen try to co-opt the most vocal advocacy groups in their favor.

Now my opinion, it's too late for a hypothetical playbook to correct this trajectory. I believe that justice and liberty as under the constitution should not be entriely beholden to institutions that have demonstrably rolled over in their duties. And I think Dems hold such an accountability that is not in anyway equal to the damage being conducted by republicans, but by giving a voice to the "DINOs" like John Fetterman who in a heartbeat are willing to betray their party's principles, they perpetuate what the opposition wants.
