Extended period of time? How about more than less than one week day?
Again, the messaging from the White House was all over the map and there had been a bipartisan deal on the table. You just can't fold immediately. At minimum you need the GOP to make it's "no" clear. They didn't.
And today Schumer said that they need to "focus on the middle class" and can't let the Dreamers "occupy the whole stage." They are losing this, and very badly.

You're starting to sound like a Bernie Bro. If any of the assholes who are pissed off at Dems over Dreamers getting fucked by Republicans don't vote because of this, then we might as well all set fire to our own fucking houses right now.

Light the match. When you only half show up for people you need to be energized to vote for you, you're in serious trouble. Heck, it was one of the reasons Bernie couldn't get the nomination.
ETA: I'm behind on my TAL, but recently heard a teaser with Minnesota DFL chair saying that the Democrat's brand is shit. While he's not great shakes in my book, he's right. The public has no idea what they stand for, because they don't know what they stand for.
And yes, any one of can rattle off some core values, but what are they trying to accomplish? What's the mission?
