Another Democratic operative close to Harrisworld says they sent memos and data to Harris campaign staffers underscoring how, among other things, Republican voters, believe it or not, vote Republican — and that the data over the past year screamed that Democrats instead needed to reassure and energize the liberal base and Dem-leaning working class in battleground states. “We were told, basically, to get lost, no thank you,” says the operative.

    ignoring advisors and data, talk about deranged leadership. kinda sounds like maybe trump really was the harm reduction candidate, because who knows how dark and cruel “I’m speaking!” could get under the cover of a fawning mediasphere that would gleefully silence any criticism. trump’s gonna be a piece of shit and inspire a lot of violence, but they hate him so the victims of that barbarism won’t be easily, smugly framed as terrorists and bigots by all of the talking heads.
