When you run to the right, and the people who like right-wing policies already have a party giving them the policies they want, they're not gonna switch parties, and you're just going to alienate the parts of your base/coalition that are affected by those policies.

Campaigning primarily on being the lesser evil and maintaining status quo failed, you can tell people 1 choice is slightly better all you want but on election day we found out that you can't win that way. If the dem politicians actually want to win they'll try a different strategy next time

the harris campaign was not right wing, idk why you're just making this shit up, there are more political ideologies aside from socialism and communism you know this right?

It was so right wing that it got endorsed by evil warmonger dick cheney.
