Listening to POTUS Radio last night some pundits were asking why the Dems do not cater more to their Centrist base that is much bigger than their progessive base. That they need to be careful.
Theory was that the hard line left and progressives have nowhere to go but to vote Democrat. They are never going to vote GOP so they are stuck no matter what.
The Centrist Democrats who can sway elections normally always vote Dem but can be swayed to the other side if too many drastic changes are made and if the GOP moves more to the middle.
Same thing goes with GOP. The hard right are going nowhere but they need that middle vote from both sides.
Discussion was in coming election cycles the GOP will move more to the middle to go after capture the Centrist Dem votes that is a much bigger slice of the pie than most realize because they are not as loud as progressives.
Both parties really need to evaluate their directions going forward.
