    Yes.

    Two things I believe in that context:

    1. Those Americans are louder than they are numerous.
    2. Some significant portion of the ex post facto “Sanders couldn’t have won anyway” spin was and is astroturf.

        I think it proves me right.

        Harris had a clear lead right up until she started backing away from her earlier more populist rhetoric in order to suck up to the corporate donors.

            I voted for Harris, but were her policies significantly more progressive than Trump’s. Which policies specifically? Harris lost because she moved right, and alienated her base to try to woo the center right. Leftist policy regularly polls really well with Americans of both parties once you remove party affiliation.
