    That’s truly surprising to me, but then again Bernie won over a Fox “News” audience. People do want good things for themselves when they aren’t being fed packaged vitriol and hate and fear of the “other.”

      The only people who progressives lose to are the Democrats. Even in cases where they win a primary they get kneecapped by the DNC. Most US progressives come in with wild ideas like making the rich pay things instead of poor people. Making sure water is clean. Keeping the government out of our bedrooms. Governing rather than blustering. They also tend to be relatable as most have worked at least one real job in their life.
