This is not a “group.” Studies have shown these are two poles to which elections gravitate in various years but the coalitions which cause one or the other to win out shift and change. People are nowhere near as politically consistent as pundits believe.https://twitter.com/nytdavidbrooks/status/1114172142495526912?s=21 …

Disagree. Yes, the largest groups are social/economic conservative and social/economic liberal (broadly speaking) & the smallest is socially liberal/economically conservative (though ~75% of that demo has a column or podcast). But the 4th group is out there & often decisive.

Granting that -- and I'm not sure I do, but I'm too lazy to think too terribly hard about it -- tailoring for a small swing group like that seems like a great way to alienate the far larger numbers on which one relies.

Yep. But of course, this tends to be true of that last 5% you need for a majority in any election, which is why politicians are the way they are.
