What I really mean is ”does it work on people who'd vote for Republicans”, since that's who this stuff is clearly aimed at, and I'm guessing it doesn't and never has.
I think you misunderstand the point of these performances. When I was a liberal the appeal of these performances was that it gave me the reassurance that the republicans' attacks about the dems being unpatriotic were false. Well, not exactly a reassurance, because I'd always known that, but more so a reminder. It's propaganda for energising the liberal base. And it serves to tell the donor class that the Democrats are firmly committed to the bourgeois vision.
I get what you mean, because it's that thing that I've been unable to encapsulate into a single word or anything, but:
"Biden/Kamala is so right wing, there's no way the Republicans can accuse them of being a communist!"
Republicans call them a communist anyway
"Ah! Well, nevertheless..."
I also do think that capturing Republican voters is that one white whale they've been chasing for a long time, though.
