Why does the general electorate pull candidates toward moderation in general elections?
The general electorate tends to pull candidates toward moderation in general elections because a broader, more diverse voter base seeks to address a wide range of issues and concerns. Extreme positions may alienate significant portions of the electorate, making it crucial for candidates to appeal to centrist voters to secure enough support for victory. Additionally, moderate policies are often perceived as more pragmatic and inclusive, fostering a sense of stability and compromise that resonates with many voters. Consequently, candidates often adjust their platforms to align with the prevailing sentiments of the electorate.
