X% of voters includes Republicans that will never vote D under any circumstances

Agreed, but…

To motivate people who will vote D. We need to focus on what they want.

This does include some moderate Republicans, think Liz Cheney. With the GOP turning the way it has - practically being a personality cult for one guy now, it makes sense that those folks who got left out would try to find a home with the Dems - and in the short term that alliance means a better chance at securing the White House.

I get the point you are trying to make. But you don’t seem to understand mine. And keep in mind that this isn’t the first time I’ve tried to explain this to you.
