      Leftist voters: I will NEVER vote for Democrats, they’re dead to me

      This is a straw man that doesn’t exist/basically doesn’t exist. Sure, there are some online leftists that like to pretend their vitriol is constructive criticism. Most casually left of center people were confused and annoyed when Kamala made a big deal of endorsing fracking. Or when she supported Israel. Or when she brought Liz Cheney on the campaign trail. All are moves to get moderates and none are effective at resonating with anyone.
