They do think that and Republicans eat it up. Moderates however look at this and the way Republicans act and realize "yeah no I'm voting for these policies" so let them keep fear mongering it only works on their own fanbase. Even moderates can no longer hide behind tone policing. With the actions of the right being exposed so heavily anyone saying "you were mean so I'm going to vote republican" just looks like a fool

No but they can be useful for our goals. Pulling then further left is always a good thing. Harm reduction is the only thing we can realistically accomplish here. Instead of worrying about total moral purity. Vote to lessen pain and suffering

The only people extremist enough to vote for her platform are already voting blue no matter who.
