Then why has every Democratic president that has won for the last 40 years run on progressive policy and any time they don't they lose to a Republican?
Literally Trump spouts leftist rhetoric in his recognition that the system is broken which appeals to his base. Just the people with money in the room whisper in his ear to not do anything cause its how they make their money.
"Leftists" might not have won near as much but progressive policy sure has. We aren't winning saying everything is good right now minus Trump
If the Democratic Party is running on a particular policy then by definition that policy is democratic not progressive.
Also, those same democrats will incorporate centrist policies to give the voters what they want.
A big reason leftists lose elections is because they convince themselves they don’t need to compromise to win over centrists which have many more voters than leftists.
What leftist rhetoric has he spouted? I’ve only heard him spout right wing rhetoric.
Again, if democrats are running on this policy then it is the Democratic party’s policy. No party owns policy.
You operate on bad logic just like saying that democratic party candidates running on progressive policy makes it DNC policy. Its still progressive policy. Just adopted ones.
Republican and Democratic are not sides of the political spectrum there are 4 points and you can fall into any spectrum of policy in any party and a good country doesnt have 2 and think one side is good and the other evil.
No party own policy and that means that they aren't beholden to run that policy either as seen by the DNC not, frequently.
And Trump loves single payer health care and has stated multiple times in his first term that the government should pay directly to the hospitals or people. And then started the whispers in his ear and suddenly "nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated"
He is an idiot who jumps to the easiest conclusions in his head and sometimes simple is progressive. It is not owned by a party and the DNC does not only provide it.
You’re contradicting yourself
And of course that is your response. You don't want communication. You are thought terminating.
This comment I’m responding to was another opportunity for you to support your claims but you continue to try to make it about attacks on my character.
