Why is it so freaking hard to get Democratic voters to vote

7. Yeah, let's...

Yes, Dems turned out for him in 2008 and 2012, but what happened in 2010 and 2014, when he was POTUS? This highlights my main problem with Democratic voters -- they seem to think that only presidential elections are important, and don't show up for midterms or other off-year elections, while Republicans show up every damn time. Is it because we think it doesn't matter, because a Democratic president will veto any moves by a Republican congress? Think of it: if we had gotten decent turnout in those two midterms, and held on to at least the Senate, even a fluke like TFG's election in 2016 (while losing the popular vote) would have had little effect, as we would have been able to block everything he tried to do, and especially prevented him from packing SCOTUS.
