But the more people from the left side of the democratic base he can get to show up on election day, the better... obviously. Some of these states will be close, even in the best case scenario, so trying to get as many people as possible in as many plausible "might vote for the Democratic candidate" categories as possible is the right way to go. Broad appeal that's just deep enough to get you to go pull a lever, so to speak.

Nah, my point was that the strategy of campaigning for the moderate Republican vote in a manner that causes the progressive wing of the party to stay home is super dumb.
So far, the Biden campaign's strategy seems to be to belittle and harangue progressives for their votes instead of making some concessions towards that wing of the party. Good luck with that.
