    they’d be doing it

    Who would be doing what? Biden took his platform far to the left in 2020 and it got him enough of Bernies collation to get him elected. Obama ran on healthcare and holding banks accountable.

    A whole team of people who know far more than you are I,

    No they fucking don’t. These are the same consultants that advised Hillary to prop up Trump in the primaries.

    The fact is that if you are a Democrat running for President, at least giving lip service to progressive polices gets you elected. There is no requirement you govern that way once elected, but if you don’t at least entertain the Progressive vote as a Democrat, you don’t win the presidency.
