It does a disservice to people who want real change.

They know that they are suffering. The right wing has no compunction about lying to people and pointing to anyone but themselves as the cause of the suffering.

We as Democrats need to say things simply. Republicans support the wealthy. They bring along racists, sexists, and religious fundamentalists because there aren't enough wealthy people to win election. Republicans care NOTHING about the average person. They are happy to use the average person to maintain power, but they don't care whether you live or die.

Democrats are the only major party that actually tries to help EVERYONE.
