The republicans who don’t vote at all, but pretend to be moderate can’t be won by a Democrat either.
Triangulation is bullshit, moving to the middle doesn’t win you a big contigent of moderates who like social democratic policy, but only if its complicated and means-tested, who want to starve Cuba and Venezuela, but thinks shooting their fishermen is too much, who want ICE rounding up immigrants into “migrant overflow facilities”, but not concentration camps.
there are some i witnessed on Yt, BAD example. the people had a veneer of “progressivism” but then thier minds broke during covid/ trumps 1/6 inssurection.
It damages your electoral chances if you are trying to appeal to republicans.
But republicans do not vote democrat.
some dont even vote at all surprising enough, at least the ones pretend like they support more left leaning views, only use it as a veneer.
