    a weird thing to focus on if they’re just looking for weaknesses

    i am not really sure i understand you here - that’s how looking for weakness works. the positive part of the spectrum is just “keep up the good work”, the lower part is “here is where you might be losing some voters”.

    there is of course the fact that you can get to the point where gaining voters on one side of the scale means losing them on the other one.

    but the whole obsession with “market based” solutions

    i meant more social liberalism as opposed to social conservatism, i agree with scepticism about the free market, which is primarily free from any consequences.
