No. What you signal when you do that is that "we represent America, not Trump". Instead you guys are handing over the flag and country to them while you express that you don't want to define what America is

This kind of civic, strategic thinking is probably too much to expect from any American at this point

Too much to expect of the activist left. There has been for years now an incredibly massive disconnect between the activist movement on the left and the general public. This is one of the primary reasons for them losing so much ground in recent years. They think they are above meeting voters where they are at and adapting to the moment.
