I disagree, but I get a portion of my view on it from "The Ass Is A Poor Receptacle For The Head: Why Democrats Suck At Communication, And How They Could Improve". (https://www.amazon.com/Ass-Poor-Receptacle-Head-Communicatio...)
It goes into how Democrats get mired in reacting / reading / responding to everything, when detractors are acting in bad faith to consume their time / fill the airwaves and media.
I recommend the book. It's great, short, and applicable far outside Democrats / politics.
