You're requiring the entire American populace to have the same level of being informed as yourself in order for this plan to work. In the real world, lots of people are incredibly ignorant of the actual political situation in the US. The democrats need to adjust their messaging to get those who aren't politically engaged but vote. That means speaking on the material reality for the average person and discussing how to solve those issues. That means EMBRACING MORE PROGRESSIVE POLICIES.

Yeah, if you know a leftist who stayed home because Harris wasn't left enough, shame the fuck out of them. But that isn't the same as saying Harris lost because she didn't embrace the left. Most Americans don't know they're left-leaning because anything "socialist" must be evil.
