 No need to appeal to voters. That's not how US elections work. 😅

When Obama and Killary got Trump elected, they didn't sit down and discuss how to improve the Democracts' image. They looked into how to fortify the 2020 election and get people to vote "not Trump", which is still the same playbook in 2024.

 Interesting. So none of the parties try to appeal to voters?
