I’ve seen polls showing that many progressives voted and many right-leaning democrats didn’t so I think the answer is to lean harder right to capture those votes.
Biggest flaw IMO is it seems like they just are going with a binary “left – right”. rather than specific issues as well.
IE, when the democratic party “leans right”, they adopt, cut taxes on corporations, they basically give the right their narratives.
IE Republicans on immigration:
There’s millions of murderous drug cartel pet eating monsters in this country wrecking everything, we need to get them all out of here by any means necessary.
Dems response: We should absolutely get them out of here, but it’s worth it to do it slowly and keep due process.
The obvious problem being to the uneducated voter they hear “The parties agree, there are lots of horrible murderers here, do I care more about the rights of the murderers, or getting them out before there are victims”.
If anything, they learned the wrong lessons
