"Doing a Hillary" means that a person is so assured of victory that they do not do basic tasks needed to acquire said victory, which results in them losing the competition. See also: The turtle and the rabbit ↩︎
I don't think they were so assured of their victory. They seemed extremely anxious the entire time because of Hillary. That said they did double down on the same centrist strategy that Hillary did.
I dunno, promising nothing at all indicates you are very certain you don't need to promise anything in order to win. Biden lied thru his teeth to get in office.
You also can't make promises of any real change while also pivoting right. Not making any promises was apart of the strategy of appearing as the "normal" candidate. Obviously this is a dumb as hell idea but I do think its what the Harris campaign was thinking: promise nothing and the voters have nothing to be upset about.
They did a "Hillary"[1]

the fact they didn't even bother to lie means they tried to lose.

Centrist strategy? No. They ran to the right as far as they can. They didn't even pretend to cater toward the left.
