Maybe their strategy for getting votes could be something better than "the other guy is worse".

That's pretty much all they have.

Nobody has ever really been excited about Biden, and there isn't a clear heir for the Dems either. Bernie is ancient, and while there's a lot of love for AOC from the base, she's perceived as too far to the left for the swing voters.

The Republicans are REALLY good at identifying potential threats early and attacking them. They did it with Hilary for decades, and they've already started with AOC's generation. The only one they really missed since the 90s was Obama, but he pretty much came out of nowhere.

That's absolutely not true. Dems and Biden administration have a lot of good ideas, and they do a lot of good shit, genuinely good, important shit. The thing is, they are terrible at advertising it, and their good shit is not enough because the country deep in trouble, so probably they could do more, and they definitely need to do more. But to say that they don't have anything is not only untrue, but also very dangerous

The Democrats need a guy in a baseball cap who just, totally gets you bro.

That’s pretty much all they have.

Except for all the good things biden has done. https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatBidenHasDone/comments/11lohnc/what_biden_has_done_year_three_year_one_two_are/

But the sad reality is that doesn't generate excitement.

And Trump was so bad that "He's not Trump" legitimately is the best reason to vote for Biden no matter what his record is, so it's hard to focus on the rest.

Sadly I think this country is so right wing, that they will literally vote for Adolf Hitler before letting a woman be in charge.
