The economy was the number 1 topic for voters this time. All these policies promote a bottom-up economy. That is why Bernie enjoyed so much working class support in 2016 and 2020, and even won over some Trumpers.

Every poll shows the majority trusts Trump more than Harris in handling the economy. Why? And Bernie underperforms Harris this time. It's not about what you propose, but whether people trust you. Also, the progressive ideas in the border, crimes, transgender are too unpopular.
Harris was probably less trusted because she was all over the place economically. She starred with a populist stance and then started prioritizing business. She had the momentum when her views were closer to Sanders'.
Not really. A lot of progressive views are derived from systems already in place in Nordic countries. The idea that these are radical or unrealistic views ignores the fact that these policies are enjoyed all over the world and would be considered very centrist anywhere other than the US.

I'd find it hard to believe that anyone would trust Harris more than Bernie on the economy.
