    I think in any country you have to appeal to undecided voters in the centre in order to win an election. So yes maybe the Dems shouldn’t appeal to “the right” but they probably need to appeal to the centre.

      There is no center in the US. If you’re okay voting for Donald Trump, you are not in the center. That’s entirely the point.

        About the same number of people voted for Trump in the last two elections (about 74 million people) while the Democrat vote went down from 81 million to 69 million. So maybe some people around the political centre (independent voters, etc) felt Harris wasn’t compelling enough.

        I dunno really I’m just guessing. The Democrats will probably have a lot of data and exit polls telling them which demographics they need to do better with.
