    Makes me wonder if there's actually any truth to the claim that Democrats would have won if they'd went further left. It seems that even deep blue states tilt pretty far right.

      a lot of americans have no understanding of what policy does, the entire country is stuck in this "Nothing ever happens (to me)" bubble and when the consequences of their actions come knocking it's like a dog getting reprimanded for shitting on the floor a week ago, there's no correlation.

      Apparently minimum wage, abortion, and similar things passed in other paces, including places that have a rep for being worse than california (debatable if they actually are worse than cali.)

      You have to actually start delivering progressive policies before people will accept the value of them, and to promote them

        Yeah Bernie could have pulled it off cause he has some credibility on it.

        It's just not gonna resonate coming from anybody else, Democrats have been shooting themselves in both get so it's not really an option.
