Nah, I think they're held to a pretty similar standard. They just did a worse job than Trump did when it came to acknowledging how shitty life has become for Americans.
The Republicans ran on "Everything is fucked. Fascism, genocide and racism are going to fix it."
The Democrats ran on "Everything is great! But we're gonna do genocide and draconian border policies more than they are."
If the voting-base you are trying to win over is angry about how things are going, and you offer them a solution, they'll likely vote for you. But if your voter-base is angry about how things are going, and you fight against what they want, then you probably aren't gonna get many votes.
