Yes, it achieved some short term benefits which have surely almost completely evaporated now that GOP Trump-branded fascısm has been in solid control of the United States since 2016. Joe Biden was worse than useless at shaking the Republican grip on politics, and he betrayed the nation by letting all of Trump's worst decisions stand. The #Democrats are now paying the price for an unbroken decades-long record of political cowardice and faithlessness to their duty of safeguarding the peoples of the United States.
No amount of #marketing is fixing this. The Democrats really believe in the stuff, though. It's been their doom. They've marketed themselves into diminishing spirals until now there's hardly anything left.

The #Democratic Party learned all the wrong lessons from Ronald Reagan, and ever since the 1980 soft coup d'etat that installed the Republicans' senile cowboy actor in the White House as the hand-puppet of a massive assortment of right-wing propagandists and Heritage Foundation bureaucrats, the Democrats have faithfully chased after the perfectly "triangulated" imitation of just the nice parts of GOP fascism. Bill Clinton was their first success, their answer to Reaganite optimism, and he only won because of H. Ross Perot playing spoiler. (cont'd)
