    You’re mixing up cause and effect

    Yes it’s not the best strategy to appeal to the right, but the truth is their policies were more popular, Trump didn’t win on any tangible proposal, he won because of people staying home because they didn’t think he’d be that dangerous + people voting for Trump because the were convinced he’d be the one to deliver the policies they wanted (often the democrat’s policies which Trump took credit for) + straight propaganda from billionaire owned newspapers

    The real fix isn’t changing the policies and all that, it’s better outreach and showing how their actions have directly helped people and how Trump achieved nothing positive

    Also is very very weird when Biden has been the most progressive US president ever to talk about the whole party slipping to the right.

      “Right” is relative to cultural median. Trump isn’t a more progressive Republican than past candidates just because he’s scapegoating trans people instead of gay people.
