I think it's easy to say that as someone who wouldn't vote for them, but the Republican party faces the same problem as the Democratic party there. Many Republican and Democratic voters only choose their party because they think it's slightly better than the alternative. As someone who sits firmly on the left side of the aisle I'm strongly motivated to vote, not because the Democrats offer meaningful progress but because they're holding the line against political actions I see as abhorrent.
