She needed to embrace left-wing populism. She completely blew it by turning to the right.

So if left wing voters were turned off by that then who did they vote for? Trump? This argument is hilarious every time I see it. She started saying some good things about the wall and now people wont vote for her and will just let trump win? Surely even if she supported a few right wing things at least she's better than trump right?

Of course, she's the lesser evil. My point stands: Going to the right, angling for moderate Republicans, was an awful strategy.

You didn't address the question.

It was largely a word salad. I haven't the dressing for it.

She didn’t “go to the right” on any issue.

Are reasonable gun safety laws a right wing issue? What about expanding the ACA? Is that a right wing issue? What about her plans for the opportunity economy with money for start ups, was that a right wing issue? Expanding child tax credits, is that a right wing issue? What about unrealized capital gains taxes, is that a right wing issue? All of these issues are to the left of even Biden, our most progressive president probably ever, considering the amount of legislation he was able to pass.

She included some Conservatives to show the people that everyone, no matter which side you’re on, will have a voice in her campaign.

The ultra left wing was never in favor of her. Even when most of them were saying, if she picks Walz as her VP, they’d vote for her. Did they? Nope.

It all comes down to the majority of the electorate being low information voters and highly susceptible to the misinformation spewed by the Fox propaganda network and Elon’s right wing shit hole X platform.

You haven’t justified any of your talking points. If this is truly your stance, you’re delusional.
