Clearly their thinking goes like this: "I need the votes of people who will also be voting for Trump, so I should say something about how their vote for Trump is okay, actually, even if this pisses off the many more Democratic voters I will need, because what are those Democrats going to do? Not vote? Impossible, everyone votes! This is a smart strategy."

It is of course possible to not comment on everything, or if you must comment, say "if Trump wins, I plan to be an independent voice for our district and I will vote accordingly. If Trump does something good for our district, I'll support that, if he doesn't, I will oppose him, because my duty to my constituents comes first." Apparently, that's too hard, so I guess we have to undermine our own ticket (whether it's Biden or someone else) pre-emptively, and make a total hash of the party's message.

We have our first Quislings, our "Democrats for Vichy".
