I'm sure they've focus tested this and yes it is the most important issue, I think they have too much faith in the American voter.

I can easily see Independents or frustrated Democrats thinking "we were warned ad nauseum about a fascist takeover by trump last time and it didn't happen and inflation is killing me..."

I think trump's threats to democracy is the most serious issue but I can't see this winning many new voters. Maybe the hope is to increase turnout on our side...

They don't have anything else, because the other platforms are related (don't genocide minorities) or anti-disaster-capitalist.

Actual liberal policies could fix some of the problems neoliberalism has created by going back to certain New Deal era policies and regulations but that simply will not happen in post Citizens United world.
