To win back support, the Democratic candidate must offer a positive and coherent vision centered on care and progressive policies, rather than relying solely on anti-Trump rhetoric.

You’re talking the primary and I’m talking the general. And every time they stick their head left (in the general) they lose.
I already gave you the history in a different chain, you can’t plead ignorance on this. You want them to shift left? They have to win first.
Young, old, doesn’t really matter. They will run what they think will win the general. Young does not mean they will run a left platform just because young. Old does not mean they will run center just because old. They will run what will win the general. And history shows the left never shows up to vote. It’s the definition of insanity all over again.
Bernie would have crushed Trump. Millions of young people who stayed home or voted 3rd party would have turned out for him. Everyone who voted for Clinton also would have shown up for him because they were voting against Trump anyway. Blue no matter who right?
When most of the boomers are gone the vast majority of people will be progressive. The only way to win will be to go left and it’ll be obvious sooner or later.
I already said it, you’re talking the primary and I’m talking the general. Who knows what would have happened with Bernie vs Trump.
What will make it obvious to go left is, drumroll please, wins at the ballot box! You have to win before the party will make a big left platform. You’re back to hoping for a big left platform to magically appear.
Yeah like I said before, you’re relying on polling (and frankly hopes and dreams), and I’m relying on what actually happened. I think your dreams about Bernie vs Trump show this.
