Voters are trying to figure out which canidate is most likely to implement the policies they want. Yes, saying you'll do something is a good way of convincing the voters in front of you but the more you show yourself willing to pander the more other voters start to wonder how likely you are to follow through. Also it can create a general bad vibe around you.
I generally agree that most democratic politicians need to pander somewhat more to the center -- some like Hillary don't pander enough while others pander to the activist groups not the center -- but Harris is already at risk of being accused of changing her views whenever it's convenient. I don't think this stupid policy hurts her but she needs to be careful.
