    get people who might not vote at all

    if harris loses this election, then the country is finished. i hope these “protest vote” morons enjoy being arrested for not being sufficiently obsequious to trump and his roving loyalty verification squads. maybe their “principles” will save them LOL

    • I think this is a big part of why Harris can win. She’ll pull in enough of the Liz Cheney minded folks, and all but the most extreme lefties will still reliably swing for Harris as well - for exactly the reason you state.

      Folks who state that Harris shouldn’t be trying to be moderate or centralist are making a big mistake here. Those on the left would never stop supporting the Dem party while Democracy itself is at state in this country. The ones we’re most likely to lose are the actually the ones who are in the centre, and I fear that these are the ones we can least afford to lose (in particular since so many of them seem to live in the midwest (where smaller states mean higher voting power per person) and in the battleground states.
