    He’s pretty moderate though. I’m not sure he’s really the best choice nationally - Harris won’t need help bringing the middle over, she needs to convince progressives to vote.

      No, actual progressives will vote against fascism, no question. Don’t let the trolls fool you. It’s the people in red areas with only modest critical thinking skills that need to be won over. Hammer home the fact that Kelly isn’t an absolute nutter. Paint that as the big difference between him and the republican ticket. And have the fact that he was in the military proudly displayed, and the fact that he was an astronaut can bring up the rear of their message.

      People who love astronauts are already into science. It’s the classic conservatives/moderates that need to be won over.

        The progressives need motivation more than anything, and now they have it with Harris. It’s the wishy-washy groups - centrists, right of center, and undecided (how can you be undecided right now wtf?!) - that need coaxing.
