Apathy benefits only the republicans
Democrats better not put forward candidates people are apathetic about then.
Responsibility lies with "The Democrats" (some sort of far away secret group that I can't influence) and not with any American. If those Democrats can't give me my perfect candidate, then I'll just give up and let the fascists win. Also, I can't figure out why they won't do this--my ideal liberal candidate would appeal to the majority of Americans!
It is never the party's job to appeal to voters. There is one designated party that is just owed support and should never have to craft another appeal besides "The Republicans can't fill out the paperwork properly, that is why we will build the wall faster, put people in concentration camps at greater numbers, and do fascism better and more politely than the dumb, knuckle-dragging fascists"
