"Hey, we're less awful than the GOP. vote for us"
Is a reason to not vote for the GOP. However, it is not a reason to vote DNC.
"Hey, we care about you and are taking these steps to help you." is a reason to vote DNC.

As for the aside up above… republicans are definitely winning the long game because democrats are not willing to pull the needle further left, just fight to keep it from going much further right.
Fear mongering and obstructionism are more effective. I cannot disagree.
Fearmongering works?
