No, you don't get how elections work. If they can support genocide and ICE and building the wall and, and, and... but because they are more competent and polite than Trump, they are lesser evil. And they should be able to take votes for granted for everyone that isn't "moderate Republicans" and those are the only ones that they should appeal to, everyone else is just expected to have blind loyalty to the Party in terms of "vote blue no matter who" then they have no incentive at all not to just make every evil the Republicans do bipartisan and just keep moving right and enabling the Republicans like they have done for the last 30 years, at least. If there is supposed to be nothing they should lose my vote for, there is nothing they wont do.
Great job of half reading. I understand quite well how election actually work. You seem to be operating based on how you wish they worked.
