The true believer democrats that vote will vote for her, yes, but she needs a way to increase democrat voter turnout to actually win. She might have less charisma than Clinton, and I'm not confident that "Not Trump" is going to be enough now that Trump has been out of office for 4 years.
We'll find out soon enough, but I'm doubtful that this inauthentic pandering campaigning she's doing is going to energize enough voters to win. Thanks to boomers and voter suppression and the electoral college every race is kind of the republicans' to lose by default, so they can get away with a lot more stupid shit.
The goal of the Democratic Party is to become the Republican Party, not to win elections.
Let’s put it this way: the goal is to capture Republican donors, not to capture Republican voters. Two separate things.
Oh don't get me wrong I'm not trying to say that they're actively trying to win voters and elections and that this is their best effort at that. I just don't think this little show is going to be enough to win an election this time -- accidentally or otherwise -- in spite of how bad Trump seems to be doing from the outside.
