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.

    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.
