Another good aspect of the "Democrats are useless" angle is that it doesn't overstate the case. You'll often find leftists talking about "controlled opposition" and similar arguments -- whatever the merits of those, they're not going to work on someone who's just finally considering that Dems might not be worth rooting for.

People rarely radicalize all the way at once. It's a step-by-step process. Our job is to lead people step by step, not sprint ahead and then get frustrated when people don't immediately join us.
