You don’t win elections by convincing the far left/ right to vote for you. They will vote for/against you no matter what (or abstain from voting because they see you as equally too far left/right as your opponent).
You win by convincing the undecided voters in the middle. Every vote you gain from the center is also a vote your opponent lose.
Convince them you’ll give them better living standards and they won’t care what you do with foregin policy and minority rights.
Convince them that your priorities is minorities and foregin policy and they will tell you that it’s all good and well but they are about to lose their job and the cost of living is going up so they are just going to vote for the other guy that promises to fix that.
