      Isnt this how hillary clinton lost? appealing too much to nobody in particular?

      The center is small and fickle in the US. Imo its less they’re turned off by leftist policies (people forget red florida passed higher min wages by initiative) and more they’re turned off by democrats who drag their feet or complicate things unneccessarily or who balk when their corporate donors tighten the leash.

      The way to campaign in the US is to distance yourself from parties while sticking to popular policies.

        Yes, but the alternative involves not sprinting to the right in order to peel off exactly zero votes from the Republican party.
