El Sayed who doesn't talk about Gaza and who doesn't talk about all the other issues that progressives have been campaigning on for the last 10 years.
But to win a general election, they're probably going to need to win in a fairly conventional way for a Democrat to try and be acceptable enough to voters who are.
dissatisfied uh with Donald Trump.
Some of them are working class, some of them are rich and affluent, some of them may be the kind of voters that progressives dream of winning, and some of them may bear no resemblance to that.
But they're stuck playing, I think, a fundamentally conventional general election game.
Well, I I think it's true to some extent.
When you vote for a Democratic candidate, you're voting both for the person and to put a party in power.
And to the extent voters sour on putting the Democratic Party in power because they perceive it as being farther to the left than they are, that could um hurt Democratic candidates in parts of the country who have nothing to do with the progressive left.
That said, I think in most of these races that Democratic candidates will succeed in defining themselves.
Certainly the strong Democratic candidates with their own individual brands who have the resources to air television advertisements about themselves, they have an opportunity to define themselves.
So I wouldn't expect it to prevent uh more moderate Democrats from winning in much of the country, even if it is undoubtedly some additional burden that they have to overcome.
There's an unmistakable trend towards the progressive left in Democratic politics.
We've talked about that already.
And as generations turn over and more young people enter the Democratic electorate, and as more older moderates age out of the Democratic electorate, I think it's possible we could see this trend continue.
It would not surprise me to see um a candidate progressive left win the Democratic nomination in 2028 if they have a strong enough candidate to pull it off or if the establishment is disorganized like it was in Wisconsin.
Yeah.
Now that said, it doesn't make it inevitable that progressive activists will take over the Democratic Party.
Mainstream Democrats will try and co-opt elements of this message.
They're going to try and appeal on the same kind of themes about economic populism.
And we just saw Gavin Newsom say the divide in America and politics today isn't between left and right, it's between top and down.
