One issue with the Dems moving Left now rhetorically is that they've spent the last 40 years, in concert with Republicans, legitimizing Right wing framings about politics and the economy. Those same “white liberals+ leftist” adopt those same politics if it means keeping Minorities out the fold.

Real q: why are modern American progressives so bad at building coalitions? The right wing is this ideologically incoherent hodge-podge of unrelated or even oppositional causes, yet they manage to work as a bloc. By contrast, liberals + leftists spend a huge amount of energy fighting w each other.
