    Stein’s campaign says it wants nothing to do with Duke, the former American Nazi Party member

    That is how it is done.

    Unlike Harris who went on a parade with Liz Cheney, and praised Dick Cheney for his work after they endorsed her.

        What? That’s never been the case in any election. The parties only get candidates to ~40% or so. And turnout is far more impactful than people crossing party lines.

        Even under the (completely unreal) philosophy that turnout is fixed and that every single voter has a default party, that still wouldn’t mean you need the other party’s voters. One of the parties will have >50%.

        You can also appeal to the disaffected Leftists jumping ship, or the non-voters. You don’t need to campaign to the right of your predecessor.
