To further this point, it isn't just swing voters. It can be occasional voters or protest third party voters. A Trump voter who stays home may not be a +2, but it is a +1.

What I'd like to see rather than these attacks on democrats who many see as going to far is articles and points that put them into perspective as the small, but vocal minority that they are. Convince a wavering Trump voter that democrats aren't pure evil, they just have a 'whacky' fringe, and perhaps you convince him to stay home.

I agree, knowltok. I do think that NTers send both types of messages (+2 and +1) when they write about liberals as allies and urge that liberals distance the Democratic Party from progressive rhetoric and more extreme positions.
