Gaza, for instance.
And now I'm not saying that Gaza alienates white working class Democrats, but every second that you spend talking about Gaza is a second you're not talking about, as Bernie would put it, the millionaires and the billionaires, right?
And so if most of the conversation about your campaign is about the issues that animate active
as progressives.
The fact that you then try and turn your message back to putting money in people's pockets won't be as powerful as it would be if that were all you were talking about.
And I think it's fair to say that's what the Bernie Sanders campaign did in 2016 that we just don't see from progressives since then.
Got it.
Now, today's progressives have made up for this by doing much better than Bernie Sanders did among a different group of voters who are sort of outside that core democratic socialist activist base.
Which is they're doing much better among, for lack of a better word, kind of mainstream progressive liberals.
You can imagine the sort of person who watches MSNBC in the suburbs, for instance, who voted for Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden in 2020.
They're actually quite sympathetic.
To what the progressives have to say about all of the various issues we just talked about, like Gaza or the Black Lives Matter movement.
They may not be democratic socialists, but they are real progressives.
And in the past, they didn't support Bernie Sanders, and they have been voting for mainstream Democrats.
But now they're pretty disillusioned with the Democratic Party.
It's failed to make good on its promise to defeat Donald Trump.
They want to see someone fight back against.
Donald Trump in Washington, and they're just looking for a candidate who offers bigger kinds of changes to a country that voters have been dissatisfied with for decades.
And right now, the democratic socialist, progressive, activist wing of the Democratic Party is offering something like that.
And so these voters who have voted maybe for more moderate candidates in the past, they're pretty open to backing progressive candidates today.
