But there's a reason why the national party hasn't banned fossil fuels - or even significantly restricted them, preferring to instead subsidize alternatives. The national party hasn't adopted "pro-criminal" measures, or "pro-open border" measures. The Green New Deal, defund the police, and decriminalization of border crossings all were floated by the progressive wing, and they all died when they ran into the shoals of the national coalition.
Well, the reason why they haven't enacted what they want is because they can't get it formally into Congress.
Take immigration and open borders. Harris likes to talk about how within days they offered up an immigration bill but what she neglects to mention is that first bill was about amnesty. Then also within literally hours of assuming the Presidency Biden unwound almost all of Trump's border EOs and the rush was on. Couple all that with their catch and release programs + the wink-and-a-nod-claim-amnesty business we've had a wide open southern border ever since.
So the democrats in effect got exactly what the left wing of their party wanted, albeit absent the Official Stamp of Congressional Legislative Approval.
You can't look at the most extreme politicians to get a sense of where the party as a whole is.
That's the rub: yesterday's extreme progressive is now today's mainstream democrat. The far left of the democrat party would have been unthinkable 15 years ago.
There's a reason why people like Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK are all out there campaigning for Trump.
