1. Democrats should use this tactic. Works FAR BETTER than telling people why they *should* vote

for Democrats (issues, etc.). It would go a long way to unmasking the disastrous policies of Repubs that we're now witnessing in real time that could forever destroy what little social safety net that was so hard fought for

People need to be told what they stand to LOSE, rather than what they stand to gain, if they vote for Republicans. Maybe then those welded-shut eyes of Republican voters (and a few wide-shut eyes of Alt-Leftists who loathe the Democratic Party) will finally see be opened and we can avoid another Trump term and Republican-held House and Senate.

FEAR works with Americans. Not hope. Not change. FEAR. The terror of a crashing economy and housing bubble-burst got President Obama elected over McCain, and the FEAR of Hillary Clinton, however wrongheaded, that she'd launch a war against nuke-rich Russia (and the fact that she's a woman) motivated too many Americans to cast their lot with the Orange Idiot.

Republicans and their well-funded propaganda machine know this simple truth. High time Democrats do, as well.

3. I am trying to learn a little bit about this election since it is happening this week

Neither candidate is very popular, none of the above might be the majority vote. I think that turnout will be low.
