Why do Democrats insist on moving further to the Left when doing so will only alienate Moderates, resulting in the re-election of Trump?

I was planning to vote for Trump this November because I support low taxes and gun rights, but now that I've seen Donald Trump's head photoshopped onto a naked body, I have to vote for Biden. How did you know nudist jokes were capable of altering people's fundamental worldview?

Your own pocket as a taxpayer.

A Center-Left Democrat like Biden will get votes from both Progressives and Moderates. If Democrats shift further Left and choose one of the Socialist candidates, they'll still get votes from Progressives, but the Moderate Dems will likely drop off, netting the Democrats less votes. Why alienate the center in order to please those who will already vote for you?

"All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public services they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That’s why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it." - Bill Clinton, 1995 State of the Union address

If you played this statement on TV now, Republicans would nod in agreement while Democrats would condemn it.
