I just cannot buy the notion that a shift to the center by the Democratic candidate motivated a majority vote for a straight-up fascist demagogue. That would mean that the Left is really dumb enough to allow that outcome just to spite a would-be centrist. "The sane person is disappointing, so we'll let the killer clown win."
I'm far more inclined to attribute this result to the electorate on average being too racist and sexist to choose a competent progressive black woman over a batshit crazy old white dude promising a return to a mythical golden age.
