I think thats an over simplification.
Disinformation is part of it. Also leftist voters feel disempowered (they shouldn't, but they are). And voters often don't understand the politics behind good policy.
Its been shown that if dem policy were presented, then voters would overwhelmingly support it.
Maybe voters are more left than dems, but don't like dems fundamentally, because they have no backbone.
Everything you say might be right.
I think its perhaps a bit overblown...
But how do you plan to fix this? Go around and talk to each voter? No, let's think about why they became the way they are. I guess we could talk to voters that are disengaged and learn why. We could see what systems are in place so we can change them.
That seems more productive to me.
