    The old “if you’re not with us then you’re against us” position. How about the dems adopt policies that inspire people to vote for them.

      It is better to be feared in politics than to make people admire or love you. When people are worried about “What if the other guy gets in?” instead of “When the dude I want gets in, what what will they do for us all?” it allows the slow ratchet towards autocratic shitheads like Trump.

      The difference between the Dems and republicans is one pretends to represent everyone equally, the other does not. Both need to make their capitalist masters happy.

      That being said. Dems are doing harm less quickly than the republicans are, so vote for them.
