    I am saying she could have won if she moved left and promised to improve the material conditions the people she was asking to vote for her.

    Moving right does not earn democrats republican votes, it only decreases their own turnout.

      How would that have made her win? Her policy, and the history of the Democratic Party in contrast to the republicans is that she would be better for the people. Better is better. It doesn’t matter how much really. If people wanted better, they would already vote for her.

        Her messaging was “America is already great”, her policies were means-tested bullshit that anyone who’s gone their entire life not getting help understood wouldn’t apply to them. Hillary was the status quo candidate.
