The Dems have run relative leftists in the past: Bernie Sanders was on the primary ballot in 2020 ... and lost.

If you want to blame anyone: look at our fellow "voters". Asking my under-30 coworkers if they voted in the primary and/or the general election was depressing as fuck.

"The Dems", meaning the DNC, didn't run Sanders, they did everything they could to push him out of the race. Sanders ran Sanders.
