Behind the Harris Campaign's Mythic Quest for "Cheney Democrats"
Briefly

In 2024, the Democratic strategy revolves around appealing to supposed 'Cheney Democrats,' yet this risks alienating the base and ignoring pressing domestic issues.
The notion of a centrist Republican alternative to Trump is based on a fantasy; the GOP's base has become fiercely nativist and overwhelmingly bloodthirsty.
Harris and Walz's campaign must engage the base effectively; however, current strategies appear disastrous, risking voter turnout in key swing states due to controversial foreign policies.
Many voters from previous election cycles are disillusioned; Harris's connection to the party's base is tenuous as her foreign policy decisions have already begun to alienate critical demographics.
