    “I don’t know why people on the center left won’t vote for me!”

    -continues pursuing extreme right-wing border policy that’s identical to that of the GOP-

      Its the center-right that Biden is aiming for and has been the whole time. He’s always been that way, his cabinet better represents the constituency than he does. Its a big part of why he was the VP for Obama, to appease old white guys.

      The people on the right for whom Trump is too extreme or distasteful are the voters they are hoping to pick up , the people they lose by going too right are not going to vote for the republican anyways. Question is if its a good calculation or not.
