I do get the example but it's definitely hard to quantify how many votes would be lost on the other end by appealing further to the left.

Centrists make up the majority of the voting block, which is why we're in the situation we are now where everyone is dancing around this fickle middle group. And yet politics has also somehow never felt so polarized in my adult life, go figure.
