A bad option doesn’t become a good option when a terrible option is present.

      They kept running on, “we’re not Trump!” instead of much of anything good to actually promise their constituents.

      As the post says: A bad option doesn’t become a good option when terrible is present.

          No, but they kept saying it, which helped bury their other messaging. Given how insanely uninformed most voters are, what message do you think most of them got? Especially with the pile of lies from Trump and other Republicans clouding things up?

            I can’t say what messages uninformed people of the public got. I’m can only comment on what I saw democrat politicans saying in their speeches and posts and how it doesnt align with what you say.

            Personally i think “not trump” is a perfectly fine platform to run on and any reasonable voter shouldnt find that to be a hard choice but dems decided to campaign on normal stuff like cost of living and economics.
