The Democrats' strategy is pretty straightforward - make everyone remember why they hate Trump.
It's a strategy that would only work in the type of situation we have now, where a highly polarizing, widely disliked former President is running to retake the office.

I don't think I agree. That was clearly Biden's strategy. A war of attrition where he banked on Trump being less popular than Biden and win that way. Harris has shifted markedly to goading Trump, and isn't banking on his residual unpopularity.
She's doing it more effectively than Biden was, but he tried. What she's changed is the focus on joy and freedom. That's a change in tone, not in policy or intent.

Yes, she is banking on that. She's banking on Trump's reaction to her goading reminding people of why they hate Trump. And so far, it's working.
