Seth Masket, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Denver, pens an opinion column this morning in the Denver Post called "Do Dems need a message?". Contemplating the upcoming mid-term election, Masket ponders the inside-the-beltway narrative that "no one knows what Democrats stand for, so they won't vote for them", a false narrative pushed by Republicans not interested in seeing Democrats achieve electoral success.
This "idea" is complete nonsense, if history can serve as a guide.
