They’re right.
Democrats lost votes on Immigration , the Israeli genocide in Gaza and economic perception.
There may have been some lgbtq voters that were reluctant… but they weren’t even close to the largest losses of voters.
Ultimately, they fucked up messaging on the economy and tried to persuade unpersuadable “centrists” by taking up Trump’s own immigration policy. And then there’s the blatant and nearly unconditional support of Israel.
Dems need to realize that centrists are already going to vote one way or the other. You can’t sacrifice your base for a small fraction of people who claim to be “undecided”.
And you certainly won’t convince some idiot willing to vote for trump.

This supposes that their stated reason for moving to the right was their actual reason for moving to the right.
They moved to the right because they wanted to and thought they could get away with it. The sprint rightward on immigration, the support for genocide, the parroting of republican anti-trans hate in their own ads, the Cheney endorsements and so on were Democratic politicians telling us exactly what they are.
Exactly what is the Democrats base these days? I am genuinely curious. Because it seems they don’t have one and don’t listen to what any normal person wants.
Health care? Improving or even maintaining infrastructure? Education? Affordable housing?
Apparently the thing that resonated with voters from the trans ads was the economic piece, which is why they include that guy talking about “why is my money going towards this?” The rest is just a smoke screen for the left to get upset about.
Also, Dems are too scared to really talk about the subject. AOC was on the right track after the congressional bathroom fiasco. The right wants all the pedos doing gender searches on your kids and they want to force trans men into women’s bathrooms.
