    Their electorate doesn’t care but there’s that small percentage of actual independent voters who might and regardless you need to keep pointing it out because the public in general has the memory and critical thinking skills of a RFK Jr.

      Sure but it’s just preaching to the choir. People’s short attention span, lack of critical thinking, and siloed media consumption means they are unlikely to see the call out.

      They will see the 10 second sound bites of someone “owning the libs” or whatever and then keep scrolling.
