While I know this article is referencing polls and offering a direction for Harris, the entire premise that Biden is too progressive is bunk. He may have wanted slight changes to Trump's tax plan but these were not progressive. The bi-partisan immigration bill is decidedly conservative and Biden left some of Trump's stuff in place. Biden hasn't pushed universal health care; has been mostly a friend to Israel; has offered modest (and popular) gun control; and jump started the economy by helping businesses and people.
The fact that Biden is to the right of Republicans in the 1950s shows how much politics has moved rightward, which moved the center. And MSM, owned by the right wing, by pushing fascist Republican policy has successfully changed the perception of too much of the public. This country's voters would rather quote Fox News talking points than actually think.
I guess we deserve the fascist, lying, conspiracy theory-ridden immoral politicians we have.
Its one thing to be silent on an issue or issues. Harris didn't choose that path. She chose to be THE furthest candidate to the left in 2019 and the electorate didn't like it and still doesn't . Now she is asking that the electorate believe that she has not just softened her opinions, but done a 180. I don't think there is a deep enough well of trust for her with the electorate. She is a bad candidate and should not be the nominee and I believe she will lose accordingly and she will lose to an only slightly less bad candidate. The Democratic party is at fault for this mess and hopefully they learn some lessons and return in 2028 with someone more like Bill Clinton.
Someone more like Bill Clinton!! LMFAO/ROFL. Bill put trickle down/Reagan era economics on steroids. Sure, our pollution rates went down as manufacturing in the US left for China, leaving the US with the Rust Belt (unemployment/Union busting) and the skies over China and other Asian countries orange and smog filled (to this day).

Biden has also:
1. Stridently pushed for canceling student loan debt.
2. Paused LNG shipments to Europe. (Despite this leading to more global emissions.)
3. Advocated progressive economic policies (e.g. protectionist measures in the IRA, taxing unrealized capital gains, rent control).
You might like these policies on the merits. But they are clearly to the left of the median voter.
