The “weird” thing was something that came up because of Walz genuine reaction about some fuckwit being weird.

And it was fucking working.

Then the Republicans got all whiney and saying the Democrats were being mean mud slingers for calling them weird when they were acting weird. And the campaign team decided that they were going to ease off one of the few levers that was actually working and exposing the lies and propaganda for what it was.

That said, your point on leveraging Harris’s strengths and past would have been great too.
