Makes sense in a European many-party setting, because while you might gain votes from the centre-right you’ll lose some to the leftist party for the same reason.
Doesn’t apply to a two-party system where there is no leftist party to take votes, the leftists have to vote for the center-left or nobody, and the further away from the right wing party they are the more activated they get by negative partisanship so they will generally vote center-left regardless.

In the USA it’s more “The left has to vote for the center right because the other option is the far right”
How about just not adopting right-wing policy so you can save on the time healing that foot you shot
They vote for nobody. Electoral turnout in the UK plummeted from 1997 on.
Low turnout is a feature (not a bug) of neoliberalism.
