  • Then why has every Democratic president that has won for the last 40 years run on progressive policy and any time they don’t they lose to a Republican?

    If the Democratic Party is running on a particular policy then by definition that policy is democratic not progressive.

    Also, those same democrats will incorporate centrist policies to give the voters what they want.

    A big reason leftists lose elections is because they convince themselves they don’t need to compromise to win over centrists which have many more voters than leftists.

    Literally Trump spouts leftist rhetoric in his recognition that the system is broken which appeals to his base. Just the people with money in the room whisper in his ear to not do anything cause its how they make their money.

    What leftist rhetoric has he spouted? I’ve only heard him spout right wing rhetoric.

    “Leftists” might not have won near as much but progressive policy sure has.

    Again, if democrats are running on this policy then it is the Democratic party’s policy. No party owns policy.
