still vote in large numbers for their candidates thanks, in large measure, to a non-stop ongoing right wing smear and slander campaign against Democrats/Progressives.

All that the OP stated is true. Dems need to do a much better job of defining themselves as well as enunciating the many evils of the opposition. Too many people are unaware of the facts and consistently vote against their own self-interest.
