Sorry to say but CHP has no choice but to appeal to HDP voters. Our demographics are fked.
33% Islamists who will vote for AKP until their deaths, 33% nationalists and 33% lefties. Obviously these percentages aren't fully correct but it puts things into perspective.
AKP has a large voter base that only CHP can compare to. CHP has a mix of lefties and diehard CHP fans who are nationalists. İYİ Parti has been able to steal a large chunk of nationalist voters from MHP/AKP.
AKP's next plan is to give autonomy to the Southeast. Mark my words. Erdoğan said it with his own mouth. Together with refugees given citizenship, his autonomy plan will boost his votes significantly. And that 33% of AKP Islamists won't budge, they are brainwashed beyond belief.
Sadly the opposition must appeal to both nationalists and lefties. This doesn't mean cooperation with PKK, but they must appeal to some HDP voters to stand a chance. But I fear that if Erdo goes ahead with his BOP plan everything will go down the drain.

AKP has played the same dirty games that CHP is playing now. The difference is that AKP isn't willing to get rid of 10 million refugees. As bad as modern CHP is, they will be infinitely better than AKP.
