You got downvoted because it’s an uncomfortable statement, but you’re not wrong. Conservatives are very good at riling up voters, whereas democrats seem to present the most milquetoast candidates at every single opportunity.
The biggest opponent for conservatives is liberals; The biggest opponent for liberals consistently seems to be other liberals. Because liberals have repeatedly shown that even when they have full control of the legislative and executive branches, they’re still ineffective at passing meaningful legislation. Meanwhile, conservatives are really really good at presenting a unified front. They’re able to fall in line and vote on unpopular things without worrying about pissing off half of their voter base.
True when they’re passing monstrous legislation. However, another feature of conservative politics is constant in-fighting and back-biting. They’re frequently throwing each other under the bus, recording conversations and leaking them, etc. It’s pretty entertaining when you can step back from the horror of it all.
Very much a when done the Democrats have never shown that they give a shit about what the people want and certainly don’t show that they care about winning votes.
what people are you referring to? American conservatives bordering on neo-Nazi? or the overwhelmingly supported amongst the general populace, things like student debt annulment?
the people I’m referring to are actual leftists. Democrats don’t give a shit about progressive policies (like healthcare for everyone) because they are a right-wing party.
Which makes me legitimately scared about what happens if/when they get control of the executive branch again.
When, not if.

ETA: It’s almost as though they’re assholes.
Very much an if

That’s a very confusing run on sentence.
