The Democratic party’s actions in the primary show that they are not trying at all to enlist discarded voters, voters who don’t feel like either party is addressing their needs. They weren’t doing it then and they’re not doing it now. They are no longer interested in GOTV initiatives, not really. They are still playing a stupid Clinton third-way triangulation. Continuing to co-opt the methods of the Republicans; Wall St financing, play to the big spenders, give the top 1% what they want, suppress and/or coerce voters with fear, then do whatever the fuck you want to serve and enrich yourself and your power base while still superficially pandering to the social elements that are the only tangible remaining shreds of tattered blue you still own to disguise your own greed and power-mongering. Well, those shreds, and the pittance of crumbs that fall off them, are no longer enough. They weren’t in 2000 and they damned sure aren’t now.
