They didn't ignore this reality. They tried to move to the right, and woo right wing voters, trotting out Liz Cheney, acting and talking like Republicans. And it accomplished nothing: R's voted with their party. It was a total failure.

wow I can't believe Republican voters preferred to vote Republican rather than Republican Lite. you can't expect even career politicians to see this coming.

Liz Cheney was a great get on their part. It's the rest of it that was the issue. They should have gone hard left and still had Liz up there, for the full-spectrum effect. "Even this crazy conservative woman thinks Kamala's great" but then everything else: left left left.
