      1. Theory there is a large body of GOP voters who will jump ship if they present a sufficiently centrist face against Trump has been tried repeatedly: in 2016 it yielded a narrow Trump electoral college victory, in 2020 an even narrower Trump electoral college loss.https://twitter.com/kenklippenstein/status/1528722559881166853 …

      Seems like "centrist face" distills the issue: The Democrats simultaneously moved left substantively while nominating figures who were famous moderates 10-20 years earlier. It sort-of worked in 2020 but it's arguably optimized to alienate left and middle at once.

      Yes, Clinton in particular was a candidate designed to alienate all sides: to even moderate Republicans she was a demonic embodiment of big government & sexual modernity & to progressives the quintessential sell out. Amazing that she came close to winning.

          You know there’s a huge number of people, probably a plurality of voters, between moderate Republican and progressive? Whether we lean left or right from there, or sometimes both at once, that’s the Democratic Party base and our center of gravity.

          Replying to @eatbees @HeerJeet @DouthatNYT

          Yeah but you have no real coherent value system on economic questions which is why it's a position extremely difficult to form a majority coalition from.

          most people voted for her. So when you say all sides, what you actually mean is those who are against the people.
