"Nothing matters until Miller is gone" is the wrong way to frame things. The right way to frame a people-led victory like this is "Everything matters until Miller is gone."

If you want people to believe something, you should say it clearly, directly, & repeatedly. If you’re saying something else, you are failing to move people in your direction. Even worse, you are moving them in another direction, shifting the Overton window away from where you want to be.

When you give time and attention to something, you are teaching people that thing is important. That doesn’t mean you should never tackle an opponent’s strengths, but you need to do it thoughtfully, in a way that doesn’t just emphasize how much worse you are.
On a fundamental level this is why "moderate on cultural issues" isn't just insufficient, it's harmful. There's been a lot of dissembling what this moderation looks like in practice (EK trying to dodge with "I'm just using abortion as an example"), but it's going to look something like this:
However, at the Senate and House levels, Dems responded and spent heavily, but with ads that were nearly indistinguishable in message from the right wing ones. After $866 million in attack ads ($729M R, $137M D), the initial public support for mass deportations is unsurprising.
