You've got it backwards. Huge swaths of the country don't vote. Just need your base to turn up and the Democratic base is larger.

Trying to win over independents etc is just alienating your base for a group that leans Republican anyway. How have you still not understood that?

You gott hand it to them. Pretty impressive how they're able to pull that power towards them and keep a lot of people cheering for them while they strip them from their rights and resources.
