Stated positions do not erase decade-old associations, which are fully exploited by Republicans in a media system that is largely theirs.

I'd say stated policy positions don't matter period. Nobody reads policy documents, it's all vibes.

Sounds like one answer to my question about why people don't recognize it when Democratic politicians do prioritize "housing, infrastructure and government services supporting people's economic activity of all kinds."

Have they (notably and visibly in the public consciousness) managed to get results regarding such issues such as housing in areas where they are uncontested?

As an outsider looking in i'd say if i had to imagine a democrat voting area i'd imagine an urbanised area, more progressive but also consistently more expensive.

Is this just "People are stupid and easily manipulated by the media. That's just how it is"?
