    Harris’ messaging problem is the same problem Hilary Clinton had in 2016. Instead of appealing to the base, she went after Republicans and just assumed the left would be on board. The Democratic establishment does this every time, move closer to the center and right and tell the leftists shut up and go away.

      The average Democrat is a well off person living in the suburbs who doesn’t want higher taxes but doesn’t want to appear racist.

        I wouldn’t call that the average general democrat voter but that for sure is the average democrat primary voter by like 90%.
