Any concessions to Leftists will cost far more moderate votes than it would buy Leftist votes. Leftists are NOTORIOUSLY fickle, and one of your leading voices this election is an obvious Russian plant who wouldn’t accept any concessions under any circumstances.
Pretty big assumption that “leftist” concessions would only appeal to self-identified leftists. Leftist policies happen to be massively popular. Ask any senior citizen if they want to give up their social security and medicare.
Also, you’ll notice that Harris had her biggest boost initially in polling when everyone was excited for the nominee to be NOT Biden. She has since continued to talk about how she’s going to be Biden exactly, but less old, and her numbers have been steadily declining. It’s clear that Biden’s policies, (and not just his age) are important factors.
People are eager for change - which almost always comes from challenging the status quo from the left.
Not when Democrats want to do them. Because people are stupid. Obamacare vs ACA.
I do think you have a good point about Harris. “More of the same” is not a good strategy. She needs big, dramatic changes to capture people’s interest.
