short-sighted alienation
This short-sighted alienation of their own supporters may lose them the election.
I think, the alienation means `lose of support', but I cannot understand the `short-sighted alienation'.
Could you help me on this?

Short-sighted means you do not consider the long-term results. Alienation means you have done something to make those people not like you, or be very displeased with you. They no longer want to associate with you.

- Whatever it was "they" did, it is making their supporters withdraw their support, and this was not an action that appears to have been very well thought out.
