How come Dems never use scare tactics to get people to vote? [View all]

I was just thinking about this the other day of how Republicans have always been successful at getting their base to show up to vote through scare tactics. We know the typical scare tactics they use such as racism, death panels. I was thinking about how Dems could have done their own scare tactics during the '16 election. For example they could have had commercials of people losing their health insurance due to the republicans taking it away and then dying or going bankrupt. They could have also had commercials that dealt with Net Neutrality and said that the Republicans plan to take away your Internet. Another idea I had is a commercial that shows a bunch of rich people laughing about all the money they are going to steal from the middle classes by having tax increases on the middle class and the poor.
