Republicans at least have a vision they can describe to people. It's a racist, sexist, homophobic vision, but it's at least a vision they can get their base to support.
Democrats don't seem to have any plans beyond keeping the status quo. However, since most people don't like the status quo it's really hard to get them excited to vote for Democrats. So they have to resort to fearing the Republicans.
The fear is real.
Democrats do use the government to help people.
