    You’re so close!

    You’re right… Kamala is not dumb.

    So, why’d she spend so much time and money on pursuing Republican voters? The campaign’s outreach was unprecedented.

    Independents are required to win elections. The Democrats and Republicans both know this, it’s common knowledge and irrefutable, a mathematical fact.

    So… why waste time and money courting Republicans? That’s never worked before, and it won’t start working now.

    She knew exactly what she was doing. She took a knee.

    Why? We’ll probably never know.

    (what other reason could there be? feel free to share. this is an unsettling thought to me and nobody has offered me a viable alternative to her motivation for R outreach)

      No way, she was playing to win. They were hoping some republicans on the fringe would switch if she buddied up with some of the decent republicans that Trump hated, the problem was too many people were fucked so badly by the current system they just wanted to burn everything down with the hope that whatever replaced it would be better.

      We all see how that went. They were hoodwinked by the same grifter and they all fell for it again.
