    I see plenty of mainline dems saying shit like “I’d vote for a literal ham sandwich over Trump”. Why not try to appeal to “the left” (or even just genocide-disapprovers) since your base/moderates are going to vote for you no matter what?

      Not all moderates are Dems. Many are independents.

      I see plenty of leftists saying things like “I refuse to vote for Democrats”.

      I see plenty of moderates saying things like “I usually don’t vote the Democrats but this time I will”.

      It makes more sense for Democrats to appeal to the latter then the former.
