      You will get precisely 0 voters crossing party lines right now, and whoever Harris campaign manager was that is suggesting this strat needs to be fired.

      The only votes left to get are the ones who are torn between voting and the couch. Harris needs to be driving the Democratic faithful she’s pushed away, not worrying about the littoral 0 voters Liz fucking Cheney is going to bring with her.

        firstly, you don’t know 0 voters can be swayed. swing states are going to be close, so every little bit helps.

        secondly, you can do both at the same time. there is no opportunity cost here.

          I need to see some evidence that Liz Cheney, who lost her seat by a HUGE margin in the Republican primary, is bringing any voters with her.

          And no,

          so every little bit helps.

          Every little bit doesn’t help when you are pushing away two voters for every one you get. Liz Cheny’s father should be at the fucking Hague. This strategy is beyond idiotic.

            losing a primary in wyoming isn’t the same as appealing to independents in swing states.

            and i need to see evidence that cheney talking shit about trump is pushing voters away from Harris.
