Here's the thing, Chris. I was raised to be a dyed-in-the-wool Dem. My Greatest Gen grandparents worshipped FDR. My Silent Gen parents worshipped JFK & MLK, Jr. I've voted straight-ticket Dem for 44 yrs. You have to give people something to vote FOR and "not as shitty as those guys" isn't that.
You can only go to the that well so many times without actually doing anything for the people who voted for you before they give up on you. Vote shaming does nothing to turn out voters. If you want people to vote Dem, push Dems to be better, don't blame the people who've checked out.
