This is such a myth, you guys completely ignored and have forgotten about the embarrassed Trump voter demographic, which is the people who claim to be swing voters/moderates but 100% voted for Trump.

Ill try to find an article, but there was a pretty compelling study that showed back and forth swing voters are a statistical anomaly, and what determines elections is 100% the group of people who either vote Democrat or dont vote at all.

Now the question is if you believe those people are more likely to be Dems scared away by leftists or leftists who dont give a shit about centrists.

I think the fact that Obama crushed running as a faux-progressive while every moderate in the last 20 years has lost is evidence that Im right.

These people absolutely exist. They're the ones who swung the House to the Dems in 2018. And (sorry to keep posting this) they show up in the data:

True swing voters might only make up 5-10% of the electorate, but that's absolutely significant in a close election.
