MODERATORS
The Dems have a similar thing going on. It's not "vote for me because I'm a great option", it is "vote for me or democracy dies!". If I only ever had one choice, then democracy is already dead.
Democracy died when citizens United was passed. It can be revived though.
Right now, it's more like:
"Here are my qualities, what I believe in (with a whole website page dedicated to my policies), my experience as a prosecutor, and why the other side is just plain not fit for office."
Here is the website mentioned above.
Which, again, in a sane world, is really just one choice. This, quite frankly, is the only real bullet in the "both sides are the same" argument.
I'm not saying Harris isn't qualified; she clearly is.
What I'm saying is that the Republicans have had years of making their base into good little soldiers that will vote R simply because they aren't D.
These mouth breathers only see the letter after the name. I can't tell you the number of times that voters came up to me when I was a poll worker and ask me who the "Republicans" were in a local election where the candidates can't have party affiliations.
Why yes, these were often elderly voters. What made you guess that?
