It's a bit of a game of chicken. They know our strategy is to win over their base, and so we'll play directly to their red-baiting by willfully alienating whatever remains of our base on the left fringe. Meanwhile, they get to use red-baiting to arouse their own base. This election will hinge on which of us is ultimately able to convince a tiny sliver of older right-wing suburban white voters. And naturally, when this fact becomes undeniably apparent, we'll use that as evidence that our strategy was the correct one, win or lose.
Lmao, whoever said the Republicans prepared to fight Bernie and decided to keep the same strat on Biden was right
