Clinton also went for a broad church approach despite going hard against the right wing of the Republican party. She intentionally tried to appeal to an imaginary subset of Sensible Republicans. She, like Harris, is a classic centrist and can't help but try to appeal to both sides. Which means all they have is vibes, and can't really meaningfully appeal to anyone.
As a side note: Biden didn't step down, he was pushed. If you're going to push your current candidate to their death, maybe have someone lined up who isn't a shoo-in for the same kind of hiding you got 4 years prior. Getting rid of Biden was an act of blind panic with zero strategy behind it. Not saying that retaining Biden would have been any better, but maybe someone in the party should have thought about this shit in advance given the stakes involved.

Not only would the election have been a complete and total walloping, the world wouldn’t have had a grace period where it seemed like a reasonable person could win the presidency.
