The leftists are simple prescribing popular policy.
There is no such thing as a middle voter who likes “subsidies for insurance companies where you buy health insurance through 1 of 50 websites and have no idea what it will cost or what it will cover or where you can even get it” but doesnt like free healthcare.
There is no such thing as a middle voter who likes “40k towards a down-payment for first generation home-buyers who haven’t made a late payment in 5 years” who doesnt like public housing and rent control.
Triangulation was always just a pretense for the dems to push policy that is good for the donors but unpopular with the base. Your moderate republican is never going to vote for fascist-lite when the real thing is right there. They might vote for someone credibly promising to help them afford housing, college, and healthcare.
