    They’re ignoring the people who could be convinced to vote D in favor of Trumpers who will never vote D.

    It’s just terrible strategy, especially it results in republicans going further right.

      The goal isn’t to get that guy’s supporters, but rather the Never Trumpers.

      As I’ve written before, https://lemmy.world/comment/12409521 , there’s reason to believe that Never Trumper split voters are what pushed Biden past the line into a 2020 win. So this is actually the right strategy.

      I suspect the problem is that the voters you are seeking are likely folks who live in places like California and New York - winning over those voters in states that will almost certainly swing for Harris in the Electoral College (EC) anyways won’t count for as much. The EC is really bad - it’s forcing the Dems more rightward to cater to folks who live in the midwest, in smaller states, and in battleground states - over the more populous views of Californians and such.
