That’s a question of strategy, and I agree entirely. Dems are not offering what they need to be offering.
My point is that “Dems need to EARN my vote” is not a morally acceptable position for any individual to take, and should not be accepted as such - it’s no different than saying “Marginalized demographics need to EARN the right to survive” - with the added humiliation and helplessness of being dependent on someone else’s ‘performance’ to earn our lives.
People know that Trump is bad,
I think you overestimate the electorate. Most Americans are not ‘tuned-in’ to politics.
I’m sorry, but that’s simply how politics works. I’m going to vote for the politician who’s giving me the best deal. If Democrats can’t do it, I’m voting for the Green Party.

“I prefer the deal for fascism that lets me pat myself on the back, over the deal against fascism” is not a very non-fascist thing to say.
