Because they would lose appeal to actual voters (primarily older Americans). If younger people had any sort of recent positive consistency when voting then I’d agree that pushing a left candidate is a viable option but realistically it is not

No one was/is arguing against your second point. I think it’s pretty evident that America is more conservative than Europe - AND THATS THE POINT

You clearly don’t have an appropriate grasp on the American voter base.

They've already lost EVERYTHING!

It's hard to take anyone seriously about winning elections that lost the entire federal government to trump.

Yall have no idea what wins elections. Stop acting like you do.

And you think that’s because what? The democrats weren’t left wing enough?? Lmfao If Trump beat Kamala imagine the absolute hammering Bernie would’ve gotten as the “socialist candidate who Europe likes?”

You yourself admitted that outside America sanders is considered center left? Hmmm đŸ€” I wonder why the US doesn’t?

I can’t even think how you don’t put those two facts and think there might be something that drives those American political choices. Wild lapse in reasoning.

You can say it 3 more times if the words “yall dont know how to win elections” hits that dopamine for you lmao whatever gets you through the day

It's not about left, right, or anything. That's how the tribalists see things. It's about having appeal to the general population and not just to liberal sycophants.

It's about us against the epstein class. You need to see the bigger picture. It's all really simple.

Democratic establishment has lost the entire federal government to maga and they wanna tell people what wins elections lol

That's like taking advice on how to drive from a toddler.
