It's similar to why the Democrats refused to pivot towards better policies for working class people instead of trying to move right to capture Republican voters. Everyone with a half a brain knew that was a terrible strategy, but it's what the DNC donors asked them to do, so they obliged.
I don’t know if I buy this whole he’s beholden to Trump like people or whatever, but whatever the case, if it’s a strategy that will end up being beholden to extremes or special interest groups and don’t sort of broadly align with centrist people it is a bad strategy and in my opinion will never win a Canadian federal election, so, yeah, pretty stupid.
