I feel like it backfires (what dem strategy doesn’t), and makes the dem base complacent

They're so stupid they haven't figured that out yet. Let them keep lying it only hurts them.

They also do this to justify nominating such an awful candidate so their radical base doesn't burn their HQ down.

This exactly. I had ppl telling me "but look at the polls" in the 2016 election. The rally numbers and enthusiasm had no bearing for them.

Remember when Tim Kaine couldn't get anyone to attend his rallies, to the point they canceled one? Hillary was in a high school gym, 1/2 full.

Enthusiasm is a key factor in voting and shouldn't be discounted, IMO.
