By perpetually treating Republicans like they are engaging in good faith, Democrats allow them to pull the Overton Window to the right. Again and again, and after decades of it, fascists are now being treated as if they weren’t direct enemies of Americans less than 100 years ago.
Peoples’ grandparents fought to keep these ideologies out of the world, and now Democrats are going, “wait wait, let them cook!”
Republicans are saying they support IVF. Their policies and judicial judgments are saying otherwise. So how do you determine if they’re telling the truth?
Democrats are you going allow Republicans to vote in favor of IVF at the federal level. Those that do presumably actually support IVF or just violated their own values. Those that don’t are lying and can be called out during this election season.
Democrats know Republicans are acting in bad faith. That’s why they’re trapping them.
You don’t convince the opposition to vote for your candidate. You energize your own voters. This proves to Democratic voters that there are no good Republicans on this issue.
to convince low information democratic voters to vote for them without providing material benefit. To create “faith” that dem’s hearts are in the right place without proof

Fucking insanity.
That’s not what’s happening at all.

Trapping them in what? Their supporters don’t fucking care if they’re hypocrites.

“You don’t convince your opposition to vote for you…”
Yes EXACTLY. Why do Democrats CONSTANTLY make appeals to the right, then?
You make some excellent points and I want to say that I think it is really unfortunate you got hit by the downvote bus.

Exactly: Further allow the country to rot and Repubs to pull the Overton Window to the right.
Democrats are useful idiots. Through and through.
Given the close margins, convincing the opposition to not vote for their candidate is effectively a vote for your candidate.
And we know there are no good Republicans on any issue.
