    Unaffiliated voters expecting him to appeal to them specifically is on those voters, not the Dems.

    Except if the Democrats want to win.

      So don’t appeal to the Dem party voters, appeal to other people who have an extremely wide variety of expectations that apparently don’t align with the Dems.

      Sound logic!

        If you want to win, you have to appeal to the majority of voters. That’s how voting works… You can do that by energizing the base to overcome the middle or by appealing to the middle. If you pick a candidate that can’t do either, don’t expect to win.
