i agree with everything in your post except this. mainstream liberals are too similar to Trump in terms of policy to try to convince people on policy. their whole value prop comes down to "we'll do all the genocide and racism you want but without any of the nasty impoliteness the republicans insist on"
Death to America
I think you really hit the nail on the head there. The democrats and republicans have no dramatic difference in policy, abortion is one difference that comes to mind but Dems have proved they won't protect it so they can't really lean on that.
So they have to focus on culture war and aesthetics because they're the same party when it comes to arming Israel, sealing the border, denying healthcare, and generally being the party(ies) of the rich ruling class
