    It seriously just fucking boggles my mind and I desperately want to know what data they had which told them this was a good idea.

    I recognize this is entirely anecdotal but: basically multiple generations of my entire family for like the first 24 years of my life were die hard suburban Republicans. Lifetime members of the NRA, Absolute Reagan worshippers, and they all even voted twice for fucking Bush. They all love Liz Cheney to varying extents but guess what: every single one of them voted twice for Obama and rebranded as staunch resistance Libs in 2016. They haven't voted republican in over a decade!

    She was run out of the republican party for a fucking reason. Again I genuinely want to see fucking numbers because I cannot understand who this would appeal to that wasn't already registered to vote as a democrat. Baffling.

      I think that if you want to peer into the average Kamala campaign staffers' brain, all you needed to do was go on reddit. Just constant posting of goofy photos of Trump, trash talking all he did (ESPECIALLY the McDonalds' thing), posting exclusively of polls that are good for Kamala. Just a massive echo chamber.
