might want to think of an actual platform with a fairly large election looming in the near future, but if they want to double down on the last couple of years of hari-kari politics who are we to stop them.
It's not clear which party you're referring to. The Democrats have a platform: health care, infrastructure, education, climate change, voters' rights, right wing terrorism, and women's reproductive choice. All the things Republicans are ignoring while Trump picks fights with everyone, and attacks immigration, focuses on getting even with Democrats who weren't even the ones investigating him for the past two years. It worked so well in the mid-Terms they're going to focus on this stuff in the Presidential election. Biggest mid-term defeat in history for the President.
Unlike the last election, Trump can't campaign on being an outsider out to drain the swamp. He's hired the worst peole, half of whom have already been fired, and some jobs he's on his 3rd of 4th replacement. He hasn't kept his promises on jobs, trade or infrastructure - the things he was hired to fix. The tax cuts are a disaster for everyone who isn't mega-wealthy. And the world is a far more dangerous place than when Trump was elected.
The other problem is that like the mid-terms, the decent Republicans are retiring and the people who will be running against the Democrats are the racists, bigots and opportunists that Trump surrounds himself with and which decent Americans will not vote for. Roy Moore anyone? If your down ticket candidates are the dregs, the crooks and the scum, they may win the primaries, but they're dead meat in the general.
