Its amazing how little they learn from their past mistakes.

If she has it in the bag, then that entices their own voters to not even bother to show up because they feel complacent and sure of their victory. It happened significantly to Hilary in 2016 because of messaging like this. It doesn't work to demoralize Trump voters because those are some of the most energized bases in years. Anyone convinced to "give up" is offset by the first group of her own not showing.

Its basic narratives 101 that anyone whose ever written anything can tell you. Always portray the race as close to keep people hooked and putting in their most effort to "get over the hump" and win. Instead they are obsessed with their smug dabbing on Trump/his voters about how dominating they are.

Also, Kamala just a few days ago told people to not bring Jesus to her rallies, that's for Trump. So her "swearing in" is a very bad image to use.
