Yeah to a degree. The democratic or left vote isn’t the only one that matters in elections. There’s also the independent and people on the fence on the right vote which can be substantial in an election. In short you can make some people happy some of the time but no candidate can be the ideal candidate for everyone and generally speaking a candidate who wins elections is more useful than a candidate who doesn’t win elections. It’s a balancing act. Someone can swing really far left and not even have a united camp on that side and lose out on the more moderate left vote and right vote as well as the independent, libertarian and green vote.
