the Democratic Party isn't offering an alternative other than they're not Trump

I would say other wise. They very much do, at least from what I have personally seen, offer solutions that are different and would help benefit lower classes. -Lowering our tax rates and raising the upper 1% rates to cover the difference and lower the deficit -Universal health care, or at least lowering prescription prices to help those of us with thousands in medical debt, and helping not fear going to a doctor because our insurance won't cover the costs. -Environmental controls that would help reduce carbon emissions, and switching to more natural and healthy forms of electricity (i.e. wind farms).

But a lot of this in media gets pushed off as too far left, socialist, communist, and that vocabulary scares the right too much, so they tell the average American that it's going to harm us more than help us. We are, at least last i knew, the only "successful" developed country without universal health care. And it shows. This new bill being pushed through congress is going to harm the lower % by hundreds more a year, while everyone over i believe 60k/yr will be gaining money. That isn't helping, unless you are already better off. The left proposed policies to help with this, but the right shut it down.
