      The only reason that happened is because the progressive left pushed moderates right with a poor platform and pandering.

      If they had a decent platform that wasn’t based on orange man bad, maybe they could come up with something of value to campaign on and win.

        “Orange man bad” is certainly not the left. That’s the moderates. The left is more “unions good” and “Medicare for All” and “tax billionaires” and “Green New Deal.” Stuff like that. It’s a pretty popular agenda with everyone but the donor class.

        And Biden’s enacted policies were not the Green New Deal despite the branding around it. Some aspects were included in the infrastructure bill and the Inflation Reduction Act but, obviously, getting Manchin and Sinema to support anything required fewer progressive priorities and more fundraisers/bribes.
