    No, Democrats has to attract voters with a centrist view because these are the largest block. Note that in Germany and Romania the centrist candidate won. Most people do not have extremist views.

      WTF are you smoking? Most Latin american elections are more politically comparable to the US than Germany and Romania.

      Romanians don’t vote in US elections. What’s your actual evidence that appealing to ‘centrists’ would get the Democrats for swing state votes?

        Germany and Romania shows that people tend to have moderate rather than extreme views.

          Romanians (and Germans) don’t vote in US elections. What’s your actual evidence that appealing to ‘centrists’ would get the Democrats swing state votes?
