This is such bullshit that blames voters instead of blaming political parties for failing to reach them and speak to their needs and issues. Democrats would get voters to the polls if they gave them something to vote FOR as opposed to AGAINST. Isn’t it always interesting that a Republican minority in government seems to exert power and influence that their Democratic minority counterparts can’t? Democrats are woefully inept at combating fascism and I hold them responsible for the likes of Desantis after years of compromising with a cabal of theocatic nationalists that have been hell-bent on turning the US into Christian Iran.

“Vote for me and your life won’t get any worse than it already is!” is not inspiring, and fear only motivates the people directly in the line of fire and the most empathetic of others.
