It makes more sense to adopt policies that are broadly popular than it is to play to “centrists”. (Whoever those are. I’ve met very few people who don’t want healthcare, are against jobs, etc. And the ones I have met are already firmly in the Trump camp, and there’s nothing Harris could do to change that.)
Centrists like the thought of a fair and equitable society but aren’t eager to have their taxes raised to accomplish it. That’s the attitude that’s ‘broadly popular’. Appeal to them, get elected, then try to get more progressive policy through congress.
Even if that’s broadly popular among people who vote in elections. (Which I doubt but lets assume it is). It would be a lot better strategy to push for things that are a bit more radical and actually help people. That’s how you go after the biggest block of disaffected voters who stopped voting or have never voted cause both parties don’t do anything to really help the people.

Centrists can F OFF. Grow a spine.
