Hence why we lost in 2016. And 2004. HRC ran the John Kerry playbook.

Why ye lost in 2016 & 2004 wasn't down to policy (bad and all as that was*), it was down to vote stealing and vote supression. About 2.5m voters lost their votes in '04, and some counties voted over 100% republican. In 2016 the number of US citizens illegally disenfranchised was over 10m.

*Never trust a party whose economic and social platform is a slightly less extreme version of their oppositions. It does generally hurt electorally, see the European left from the '90s to today for example. But in the case of the US being "hard right, but with a half way convincing pretense at being empathetic" is still a vote winner.
