    I think the biggest factor missing from this discussion are the people that voted for both Obama and Trump. This is where the fallacy of reaching across as a good thing comes from. Both sides want to win that voter and both sides misunderstand why both voted the way they did. Or if it is understood, getting the getting the entrenched base who is the party’s power to buy in turns them off.

    Taking Biden as a centrist as fact, he wasn’t portrayed that way in the media by both sides. And that goes in favor for my argument as trying to be centrist is or playing favorable to the center is political suicide.
