How can this be a rejection of the far left when Harris campaigned as a moderate (e.g. Cheney)? If republican voters are going to think Democrats are communist regardless of how moderate the Democrats are, maybe moderating isn't a good strategy. If the only choice is between right-wing and lite right-wing, right-wing voters will choose the real thing. Even then, Trumpists will still call democrats communists.

Many left polices are popular when they aren't labelled as left

Thats the fun part, people consider dems "far left" because...... Reasons, I guess? This country is so far right just the idea of building more housing counts as communist.

True. Even in California, the affordable housing measure and rent control measures both failed.
