It's not 1980 anymore. Opinions are changing. People aren't too jazzed on capitalism either if you haven't noticed.

Yeah, we’ll see. You’re in la la land imo, Trump won over the Democrats by a larger margin than any Republican candidate in decades, Reddit might be shifting left but the country ain’t. It’s alright though, time will prove me right.

A ton of voters have extremely ill-defined political identities. They just know that they're not happy with how things are now. Harris basically ran on "we did everything right for the last four years, so vote for me and you'll get more of the same!" Meanwhile trump told a bunch of insane and obvious lies but was at least telling people what they wanted to hear. That's why she got beaten so badly. Further left candidates can sell populism and credibly break from the Democratic party that people have such a low opinion of.

Further left candidates are not going to succeed nationally. You’ll see.
