    Not necessarily. There was a large pool of non-voters, if a lot of those were disillusioned leftists who didn’t see anyone worth voting for then appealing to them might have been a winning strategy.

        It’s interesting how the situation is always dire enough that leftists are expected to abandon all their principles and give their full throated support to the latest corrupt war criminal from the DNC, and yet it’s never so dire that Democrats should be expected to actually try to court leftists, or even to stop relentlessly attacking them.
