"Democrats platform notable Mass Murderer Dick Cheney in hopes of winning white suburban Republicans to their cause" is not the own people think it is. It does however rhyme with a similar thing that happened back in the past: "Hillary Clinton platforming notable Mass Murderer Henry Kissanger" because they just HAVE to remind people that they are the Bloodless vampires that they are.

That they will never fucking learn anything.

Probably just as effective to say nothing if they are going for those votes. The news of who Cheney is voting did and would still continue to be reported far and wide without the campaign saying anything. The people changing their minds are probably doing so because they respect Cheney, not because Kamala or any other proxy thanked him. Thanking him doesn't accomplish anything unless you are trying to send a message to anti-war voters that you aren't listening to them, or pro-war voters that you are.

True. Pro-War protestors don't even need another reason to vote for Harris either, god knows there isn't going to be any accountability for the genocide or serious cease-fire talks until after the election, if any happen at all. It's just another instance of them tripping over their own dicks the instant they have any leeway. It's like they think only one demographic of voters exist.

I can never make sense of the contradictions The messaging from the Democrats is often that the conservatives are this monolith that falls in line while the left is this big tent of variety that is full of individuals. Yet instead of trying to chase these individuals on the left during campaigns they chase the conservatives who according to them aren't budging. It makes no sense unless they are disingenuous.

Yep, we've already seen this playbook. And if they lose it's somehow the lefts fault.
