I really don’t disagree with you, but if we want democrats to show up and vote, this is not the attitude that will make it happen. People largely believe their votes don’t matter. If the candidate is bad anyway, why even bother? I’m not saying this negativity is the only (or biggest) problem, but it is very discouraging.
Let’s get better candidates where we can, but we need to go full speed with the best we have. If democrat voter turnout was better, there would be no contest, and maybe we could start having a real dialogue about improvements instead of just fighting to avoid more far right extremism.
With the right circumstances, you can sometimes see the actor’s pulse on their neck. Sometimes they’ll hold their breath or breathe slowly, but there’s not much you can do about the heart.
