(147,765 posts)Ken, you may believe that you have experience in the real world but your posts do not support that claim. Your proposed platform is not workable in the real world and your analysis relies on key demographics in the Democratic base changing their votes to support your platform. The sanders platform has not done well in any race and was rejected just recently in Virginia by African American voters.
If your claim about running a progressive candidate is the key, what happened to Feingold, Teachout and the other bernie supported candidates last fall. Sanders had a number of candidates who he supported and they did worse than Clinton in 2016. Sanders supported candidates under-performed compared to Clinton in 2016 https://extranewsfeed.com/bernie-sanders-was-on-the-2016-ballot-and-he-underperformed-hillary-clinton-3b561e8cb779
