Economy is always first. You're right that's what you need to focus on to get the center. But you also need to be left enough to energize the left to get over the Rs own center and right voters.

This election showed the left 1) will literally never, ever show up, or 2) does not exist. There won't be a left platform for fucking decades.

I mean 2020 is contrary to that. I think leftist "culture" wars are simply not important enough to voters. Leftist economic policy is.

Biden didn't run a left campaign, he ran straight center. He didn't stick his head out at all.

He did some left things while in office, and what did that get him? Polls said he was going to lose. Aka, the left never shows up.
