(82,383 posts)they should take responsibility for every republican policy enacted.
Though of course we assume they would vote D but that's no guarantee any more. I remember turnout was good in 2004 and it was because the idiots wanted to be sure Dumbya got another term. It did not turn out well. So that's a lot of assumption. The type of people who don't vote these days are as likely to vote R. (Excepting the ones who think they are sending the Ds some message, which they aren't, they are only being more sure they won't be part of the process, if there really is any such persons).
Also are you claiming the Rs earn votes? You are admitting they are better at selling the candidates? But then you are admitting most voters don't really care, they want to be sold something, not have opinions of their own.
