Hillary attempted the same; she was a moderate liberal who offered practical, needed issue positions that would appeal to a broad range of voters. Hard to believe now, but her approval ratings were in the 70%s when she was a senator and SecState, and she was the most admired woman on the planet. Character assassinations during the presidential elections took care of that.
It seems the voters' choice in 2024 will be democracy-saver Biden or his replacement versus tRump or his just-as-scary wannabe fascist replacement. So, enlarging our already broad coalition to include more moderate conservatives is what we will be attempting again. No accident. It has to be.
And after all, in democracies, majorities are always coalitions of different interest groups. Nothing strange there.
