    Democrats are trying to win elections in America, so it doesn’t matter how their platform compares to the left in France.

    They are trying to appeal to the American center, which means people like my supervisor and my mail carrier. Those people are not leftists but they are more likely to vote for Democrats than many leftists are.

        That want their biggest supporters to vote for them.

        But leftists are not their biggest supporters. Moderates are.
