are you suggesting that elections in America sometimes involve voters who are not particularly loyal to either party and might "swing" the election in one direction or another

This is a flatly untrue belief about the American voting populace and that idiotic belief is why Dems keep losing elections they should absolutely be winning. There are two bases. 95% of conservatives vote for Republicans. The elections are won by turning out your *own* base. Not slagging them.

Plenty of Mamdani voters also voted for Trump. It would basically be impossible for him to reverse the margins otherwise. The Mamdani campaign will happily talk about this. Why is it upsetting? It means he had a resonant message, among other things.

This is not true. There are MAGA voters & Conservative voters & there is a difference between these 2 groups. Not every Conservative is extreme MAGA GOP. They're just not. Conservatives will either stay home, vote Dem or they will vote GOP because they have been doing it their whole lives.

Point me to anything demonstrating this. You do not need to tell me centrist political theory over and over again. I understand that’s what you think. It just isn’t true. And losing election after election should’ve told you that already. Your basic political assumptions are proven false.

And don’t repeat yourself again. Present actual evidence for your extraordinary claims. It should be easy to do this if you’re actually correct about that. But you won’t be able to because that’s a cracked way to look at politics in the first place. Like proving up is down.
