I don’t know what Dems are supposed to do with people who don’t want to listen.

Note the tweeter isn’t talking about trumpchumps - he’s talking about low-info, apathetic voters (the vanishingly few “swing voters” left). These are the voters whose opinions and votes can change on a dime if you appeal to their frustrations correctly (as Obama did in 2008)

And his point is valid - “Not trump” isn’t good enough. A low-info, apathetic voter will reply, “Yeah, he’s an asshole, but things aren’t that bad so why bother to vote?” This is where you have to go beyond “not trump” and give that person something to vote FOR.
