The idea that voters vote based on policy rather than loyalty is totally incomprehensible to the Democratic party.
Calling out Red MAGA is fine but don't you dare call out Blue MAGA.
Saying that Democrats will vote for literal Genocide if it means Republicans don't win really hurts their feelings. And like the Republicans they will explain that if the other guy wins it would be worse.
Yes these are the same people that tell you that Biden hasn't gotten anything impactful done because the president really doesn't have that much power while following that up with claims that Trump would completely end democracy the minute he gets elected. This is a variation of an argument first coined by fascists who claim that their enemy is both weak and all powerful.
They keep saying that Democrats fall in love while Republicans fall in line, but clearly haven't internalized it.
Because Republicans clearly love Trump, and Democrats keep ordering their base to fall in line.
