    when republicans have a strong chance of victory, it’s a lot easier for democrats to campaign on not being republicans.

    And when Republicans have no chance of victory they don’t even need to do that.

      No, they have to contend with the primary instead at that point. If progressives and leftists would vote in elections and primaries instead of succumbing to electoral defeatism, we could keep Republicans out of power and drag one major party to the left.
