If the majority of people represent independents and moderates, and the Democrats ignore the progressive base in their party, does that mean the Democrats will lose elections? Not necessarily

The republicans have taken a far right turn after the 2008 election, instead of moderating toward the center, and that is why I think the Democrats as a whole still have an advantage, but it is not a secure one
