If anyone campaigns as GOP-Lite why shouldn't voters just choose REAL GOP instead?

It take 50%+1 to win an election (more actually with GOP voter shenanigans disappearing votes cast blue).

Since losing by one vote or a million is exactly the same result, shunning Democrat positions and policy does not really win you GOP votes and it provably does not rouse up Blue support, is a decision which ought to get one cast out of the Democratic Party.

If you don't like what the Democrats stand for, can't explain the policies, won't defend the positions, just get out and stop filling a position that a REAL Democrat could fill.

The time for surrendering to GOP wedge (Divide-to-Conquer) issues is past.
