? Do you believe that about moving right getting more votes? I don't. My analysis is that if the democrats moved farther left and focused on economics, they'd win more votes.

They don't do this because they're beholden to capitalist interests and the inherent contradiction between them prevents it. Because they can't acknowledge that contradiction, they havey to speak about minorities, women, LGBT to court the left. This isn't to say that what they're saying about those groups is wrong, just that the analysis is weak and feels divisive to uneducated white voters.

But my general point is that with an actual left platform, they'd win.

Well, ignoring that they'd stop being funded and platformed by capitalists if they adopted such a program.
