I’ve been thinking a lot about this issue, stemming from this, @ezraklein’s NYT op-ed on the subject, and Bobby Jindal’s piece today in The Federalist.
I’m workshopping the thought, but there seems to be a sense of expected responsiveness placed upon Democrats (but not the GOP.)https://twitter.com/DavidMDrucker/status/1222489936974229509 …

I link to an argument to the contrary in the following tweet.

Where? So far as I can see, neither Jindal nor Ezra argues that Democratic voters has a moral obligation to vote Republican.

You either support the eventual Dem nominee (even if it's Sanders) or you support Trump, there isn't a middle ground in a two horse race. Dems shouldn't be moderating policies to please disenchanted Republicans because they'll go right back to being Republicans when Trump is gone

Republicans lost the right to make moral, political claims. Demanding Democrats elect Republicans makes no sense because the party needs to be dissolved.

Precisely. A one-way ratchet that only holds one side responsible. “That Soviet apologist leading the polls? Not MY problem!”

The fact that Never Trump Republicans are too cowardly to even try to boost a primary challenge to Trump makes this point completely moot.

I'm a republican and I did that in 2016. It didn't work out enough in your favor. Not sure that's a great strategy.

No, the premise is that everyone of any party has a moral obligation not to vote for a corrupt, beyond the pale, bigoted incompetent. If the Dems nominate one of those the same premise will apply.
