It’s not like the Dem base will switch their votes to Trump.
At this point, now that the nominees are decided, the political game is to attract the swing vote, which is mostly “tough on crime,” anti-imigration, and anti-taxation (as it applies to them directly).
Even though none of these policies are actually good for those in the middle.
You’ll still see things like student debt relief getting pushed. But something like immigration reform he has to do to get swing voters and hope his base understands. Otherwise he just won’t have enough votes to win.

Treating them like guaranteed votes is going to result in people staying home. It’s bad strategy.

It’s not a bad strategy. It’s the only strategy.
Fuck him for Gaza though.
Or, and this is crazy, he could go ask the left for votes instead of trying to pull us all even further to the right.
