    Setting aside the false equivalency here, the presidental race is not the only race on the ballot. We can help with those down ballot races too

    There are plenty of viable dem candidates who do support all of what you just mentioned

    For instance, Pennsylvania state legislature democrats are supporting a $20/hr minimum wage. There are races this year that could flip the PA state senate and let that start getting through

    Or for corperate money side: Dan Osborn (indepdent, and there’s no dem in the race) is a union leader who led the kellog strikes. He wants to get money out of politics and has taken zero corperate pac money. He’s running for Nebraska’s US senate seat and has a real chance to win. Polls put him neck and neck or even up slightly
