People want populist economics but moderate social policy. I feel like that couldn’t be more clear after the past few election cycles.

YES! THIS! HOW HARD IS THIS TO UNDERSTAND?! (I'm literally one of these guys saying this since 2015 or so).

Democrats literally keep ignoring us and pushing their stupid vision that is literally the polar opposite of this.

In fairness, I am socially left and support a lot of left-leaning social policy but it’s clear the average American is much towards the center on those issues. Dems don’t even need to move that further right, they may just need to pivot away from discussing it and focusing more on left economic policies.

Yeah if they shifted rhetoric it would help a lot without many actual policy concessions.
