I thought so, too. I’d be interested in seeing what these exact people think now that she’s said all that. Will that be enough for them? Or will they still refuse to vote for her. The article was written before she said what she said, so I imagine we will find out eventually. There’s also people who vote for Republicans actively trying to sew discontent in democratic voters about it. A month or so back, I read another article that was similar to this one where one of the campaigners for the uncommitted movement was a republican strategist. In that article, as well as this one, there’s the quote that they won’t be convinced to be scared of a Muslim ban when their families are actively being killed right now. Some even saying that Trump could just randomly decide not to support the genocide because he’s unpredictable. And that, if they have to choose between a ban and a genocide, they’ll take the ban. Which, I get the thought process, but it’s still short-sighted not to realize that their families will have a harder time surviving under a Trump presidency. Feels like a bad faith argument.

This topic is genuinely frustrating and could very well decide the election. People willing to throw away decades of progress because they don’t want to compromise. Some viewing it as themselves “remaining pure”. Incredibly frustrating.
