Exactly. The opposition has to realize that they are outnumbered, at the moment ; but this is not a static or permanent things.
By definition, every majority hangs on "swing voters", and is ousted when the swing voters decide to swing again.
"Appealing to your base" is how you win primaries ; if you continue beyond that, and insist on "purity", "support 100% of our causes, or you're a facist", while the other side has a "big tent" strategy, then you only alienate potential supporters, and opposition is going to be long.
(Caveat: of course, this assumes pretty "normal" conditions where elections happen fairly, on a regular basis, etc...)
Also, about the role of "kids" in those discussion, one side obviously knows how to do it _very_ well: [1]
