I don't agree with this. I think it's largely closer to a center left country but people want candidates who seem "normal" and aren't embarrassing, regardless of policy. They don't like far left loons and they really don't like far right loons. People generally agree with Biden on a multitude of issues (health care, taxes, child care, Ukraine, democracy, etc) and are willing to play ball as long as republicans destroy themselves with extremism.It's wild how Biden is literally dispelling their entire electoral project by failing upwards. He's proving that it's not policy per se. it really is a center-right wing country (electorally, not population-wise) and democrats have to finesse people into getting the results we want.
The key is to focus on the issues most people give a shyt about, VS obsessing over the issues only the base cares about (climate change for instance). Good news for Biden is that inflation will continue to decrease, and likely will not be an issue by the end of 2023. Just this week the administration has allowed Venezuela to resume crude oil production. The result will be Florida becoming redder but that's irrelevant compared to reduced gas prices for the country. The pieces are moving in to place for republicans to take massive losses in a couple years, assuming Trump is the nominee.
