    I will say a large swath of the country moved to the right (anti-immigration, anti-trans, etc) and so trying to push progressive values in a time where people believe progressive values are what led to inflation is a losing argument as well that wouldn’t have gotten much national support.

    A large swath of the country that wouldn’t vote Democrat in a million years. As a Democrat presidential candidate, you straight up don’t care about those people. You care about the other half, which moved to the left and includes demographics that have historically responded to leftist messaging.
