Democrats have to cater to like three different and mostly separate agendas to win. Republicans only have to cater to one. I think the problem is we've been expecting Dems to pull off what is essentially impossible.
No they don't, that's just lies the Dems keep repeating.
Progressive issues are overwhelmingly popular in the U.S. Exit interviews and polling shows that in the key swing states, ignoring progressive issues is what made voters dissatisfied with Harris. If they had let Harris run a progressive campaign, I think it is very likely they could have won.
The only two agendas the Dems are pulled between are the agendas of their corporate donors who don't care if they win, and a progressive agenda that could actually win them elections. They overwhelmingly choose their corporate donors every time, and then hope progressives will keep them in office because they have no other choice.
"Give us better standards of living so people don't consider fascism as the solution to any and every problem."
Instead we got her being Dick Cheney's friend and wanting Republicans in the cabinet. And people saw someone catering to Republicans and went "I guess I'll vote for Republican".
