I fucking hate it, but if you're a dem shitheel that your entire base will still vote for you blue no matter who, this is probably a decent triangulation effort to peel off "moderate Republicans." If you stand for nothing and intend to improve nothing if elected and only care about improving your odds in swing states, why wouldn't you do some bullshit like this? A bunch of the American left that exists beyond being "gettable" for the Dems were never going to vote for them anyway regardless, and the ones who could will enivatably rationalize it as harm reduction somehow. The main Dem base never really gave a shit to begin with and were perfectly happy boosting a senile fossil supporting a genocide, and now they're ecstatic about getting to vote for a candidate that's not clinically demented that's a mixed race woman of color with functionally identical politics to the guy that eulogized Strom Thurmond. In conclusion, amerikkka

Dems have been trying to get Republican votes for decades now but I'm not convinced it's ever worked

If it had worked I'd expect 30 years of unopposed dem hegemony, and the fact that they're barely scraping by against a historically unpopular candidate suggests it has not. After all, to a nazi, why vote for 99% Hitler when 100% Hitler is right there?
