A lot of us live in our own bubble, and don't even consider that just possibly there might be a significant number of people who don't share our ideas.
The greens, those on the left, etc. have been the best unwitting allies of giving us trump and the supreme court we have today.

They may have their big rallies and loyal followers, but we will continue to lose elections, because enough of them will either refuse to vote for the Democratic nominee by either not voting or voting third party.
The strategy of "do everything I want or I will take my marbles and go home", is a sure way to continue to lose.
