Am I wrong to think that higher turnout automatically favors dem? like Kamala has much higher "turnout upside" than trump?

is there any scenario where high turnout is better for Repubs?
Yeah because more white dudes are voting. Problem is just enough of them need to go Harris in WI, MI, PA.

I think we've observed this in the past eight years:

Low turnout overall: Dems now win because suburban voters have come to them (off-elections being bluer the last few years).

Low Dem turnout, high Rep turnout: Reps win.

High turnout across the board: Dems win because there are more of us.
