I don’t understand your point… Obama won two presidential elections in a row. It would seem as though that "selling himself as a progressive convincingly worked out pretty well for him id say.
So you’re saying that the people want a progressive candidate, but the Dems would, at most, give us the option of someone who sells themselves as progressive but is an actual neo-liberal?
Oh, maybe I do get it after all. I was going to say that Gore was pretty progressive and did technically win, but that was 25 years agola
It’s because Obama was polarizing, but he sold himself as progressive convincingly
He literally ran on the promise of change - unfortunately his actions were firmly neo liberal, and he prioritized compromise over meaningful reform
If Obama was a neo liberal in progressive clothing, Clinton was a diehard neo liberal from top to bottom.
Unfortunately, the lesson learned was “people don’t like Hillary” rather than “people want a real progressive”
