Probably, but when you constantly promise better outcomes for people and fail to deliver, you can't be all that surprised when they lose faith in you and stop showing up. Continuously just trying to be the lesser of two evils isn't exactly a motivating platform.
EDIT: The Democrats have also had a bad habit of consistently portraying the the GOP as an existential threat, and then continuing watered down versions of GOP policies once they obtain power.
