"Winning" against Trump and his party by throwing away what makes us better than them is no win at all.
While Trump and the GOP have set the bar for "better" very low, turning the Democrats into their mirror image, only with different shibboleths, is an even worse outcome than another Republican win. (And yes, I'm well aware that most Republicans think that is already the state of things. They are wrong, at least for now.)
This statement is nonsense if you really believe that Trump is as bad as you've been saying he is on a daily basis for years now. You either believe your own lines or you don't, but actions will show that.
