      Center right republicans are up for grabs here, idk if youve heard but Harris and Trump are pretty much neck and neck in every battleground state. She’s trying to reach out to Republicans that are fully sick of Trumpian politics. It’s not progressive voters she’s courting nor should she

        And if she loses as a result? Then who are you going to blame? The Democrats who left her? the Republicans who didnt join her? Or harris for being so committed to genocide she lost to a literal fascist?

        Keep in mind the longer she waits the more likely it is those historically democratic voters are lost due to early voting.

          Centrists will do what they always do. They will interpret a win as vindication and an indicator that moving to the right works.

          They will blame their left for a loss, announce that the left are unreliable voters, and use that as justification for moving to the right.

          It’s her calculus man, not mine. The Harris campaign has decided this is the way to go, if she loses because of it then she loses because of it. I think it’s the right way to go but honestly not really any point arguing about it, we’re gonna find out real soon either way

            indeed we are. but then you’ll be stuck knowing you did jack shit to stop a genocide when all you had to do was lie a little bit to make her sweat it out. maybe follow through if your state can take the hit on democratic support. instead you decided your effort was better spent arguing with me and others like me instead of getting in on the game. =)

        You are literally arguing she make a speculative play to turn Republicans instead of going after registered Democrats that she’s lost.

        I’m highlighting this to demonstrate for posterity how patently absurd the apologist rhetoric was on this matter.
