I hear this all the time on lemmy and reddit and other lefty bubble media despite seeing all of the time in reality that progressive candidates aren't very popular.
Harris ran as a strong progressive in 2020 and she was amongst the first candidates to exit that race. Bernie lost in a head to head matchup with a complete centrist, and Biden had way more people vote for him in the general than Harris did.
I voted for Bernie in 2020. People sat that primary out just like they sat out 2024 apparently. If there's all this massive support for progressive politicians in this country, I'd like to see some evidence of it.
