    Your assumptions are doing a lot of work here.

    It’s an entirely different strategy:

    A) I’ll vote for you no matter what you do!

    Versus

    B) You must earn my vote.

    The progressive policies I outlined above became law because the two major parties grew tired of losing close races, and decided to earn some third party votes.

      “Earn my vote” is the bullshit mentality that led to Trump being president. Fuck all of that. R’s are batshit, and if someone doesn’t commit a vote that can matter against them, that person’s part of the problem when R’s win.

      There is literally NO issue where someone who would normally vote for Biden has a better option under any realistic R candidate.

        Rather than shaming people into eating shit, perhaps you could shame Biden into supporting a policy that has popular support in swing states.

        Keep in mind that most low income people were materially better off under Trump, whose pandemic policies resulted in the lowest childhood poverty rate since the 90s. (These welfare policies were cancelled or expired under Biden.) So a Biden preference, if it exists, may not be as strong as you assume.
