Deep down they don't believe it, it's just a tactic to get supporters on their side. Remember Harris' infamous "It was a debate! " statement after accepting the vice president position, after she called Biden a racist segregationist? It's all a game to these people, with the end goal being power.
The problem the Democrats now are facing, is that their rhetoric on Trump is starting to threaten the safety of politicians in the arena. So far, a 20 year old shut in, and a crazy NAFO dude, have tried to assassinate Trump. Political assassinations coming back are not in the political establishment's interest (both R and D) , so they have to try tone it back a notch, while still keeping up the front that Trump "is the biggest threat to democracy". It leads to contradictions like this, where Harris puts out these statements to try appeal to moderates to try cool down the rhetoric, while still keeping up the front that Trump is an existential threat.
IT WAS A DEBATE! 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 IT WAS A DEBATE!🤣🤣🤣😂 IT WAS A DEBATE, THE WHOLE REASON- LITERALLY IT WAS A DEBATE 😂😂😂😂 IT WAS CALLED A DEBATE, 😂 AND WE WOULD TRAVEL TO THE DEBATE, 😂 AND THERE WERE JOURNALISTS THERE COVERING THE DEBATE, 🤣 WHERE THERE WOULD BE A DEBATE 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
"Clearly we AlIeNaTeD tHe WoRkInG cLaSs! We need to get MORE racist for 2028 so we don't scare 'em off again!"
Democrats win
"Sorry liberals, but the American people really love the GOP! Looks like copying Republicans is the winning strategy! You know what? we'll do project 2025 anyways because we feel SOOOO sorry for the Republicans!"
So on important issues dems will toot that ass up for the repubs. Whats the difference that you'll have a defiant sneer on your face this time? How brave
there are, unfortunately, some people this will play to, but I'm having a hard time imagining they're a large group or that any of them weren't already voting for harris
