stuff really isn't popular and I suspect cable news brain is a big reason why Dems don't see that is *obvious*. "Both sides" coverage, slanted towards Republicans, with Joe Scarborough Democrats providing much of "one side" on in every congressional office all day every day.
Twitter isn't real life, but nor is the New York Times or CNN. Everybody has their little information bubbles.
