I imagine that they dont care about that because they dont calculate it like you do. They will move Harris to be better or they'll burn it all down with fire using Trump. Thats them voting in their own long term self interests, at the cost of a very small short term comfort of life under Harris vs Trump, and its completely rational. You are offered a cushy existence under Harris and they are clearly not, and yet you lecture like they are. Why should they care about your comfort when you shrug as they are murdered or at best treated with open contempt? Dem strategists should have been paying attention to their persona pattern long before now and they just shrugged and ignored it, so here we are with a group thats been maligned and more or less pushed out of the party, and we need their votes to win a wing state.
Sucking up to independents, who arent reliable and are basically republicans, disaffected republicans, and gun nuts is a hail mary that has never worked and no one knows if it will work this time. This is the usual DNC bedshitting and incompetence.
Locking a decisive voting block in a swing state out of the Democratic party convention was a massive, massive mistake, and all Harris has been doing is doubling down on it.
Hillary didnt visit Iowa, and Harris blew off Michigan.
