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.

    wasn't terribly surprised by any of it but jfc this

    The Harris campaign raised a billion dollars and ended $20 million in debt. Many people got rich by dispensing terrible advice.

    this makes me very angry

    I just cannot wrap my brain around having so little conscience
