    Well if I understand your run on sentence correctly, I already said it: the left either 1) doesn’t exist (in meaningful size), or 2) will never show up for the Dems. Take your pick, doesn’t really matter. The Dems will never, ever, never again rely on the left showing up for the Dems.

    And they will go to the center. That’s the only time they ever win. That’s how Clinton won. That’s how Obama won. That’s how Biden won. Every time they rely on the left for the Dems they lose. That’s how Gore lost. That’s how Hilary lost. That’s how Kamala lost.

      Biden and Obama both went to the left. jesus christ. Obama was literally ‘health care reform’ ‘yes, we can (change)’. Biden literally put lisa khan as head of the FTC and had a left wing stimulus bill + student loan forgiveness + drug legalization.

        Obama ran on “hope” and energy. It was enough after Bush’s disastrous wars. So he enacted health care reform. And what was his thanks? To lose the House of reps for the next 6 years. Plus the senate in years 7 and 8. Thanks for not showing up for any more progress left voters!

        Biden ran center, that’s how he won. Once in office he acted left. And what was his thanks? Lose the house. And more thanks: what did the polls show? That he was going to lose. The left didn’t show up, and wasn’t going to show up.
