This goes beyond engagement, though, a point that Crockett and even Axios miss. It's not just that Democrats won't engage voters other than fellow true believers, limiting themselves to MSNBC, CNN, The View, and other progressive bubbles. (Bluesky would be another great example, where many of them fled to escape Elon Musk and the evenly balanced membership of Twitter/X.) It's that they argue either tacitly or explicitly that opposing viewpoints are entirely illegitimate and even part of foreign intelligence operations, alienating tens of millions of voters by attempting to suppress their points of view.
This is precisely why the mainstream media has failed so spectacularly. It was warned about its bias and failure to be an honest broker so Republicans went to Fox News and Joe Rogan and America followed.
