It's also a great example of actually talking about things affecting the bottom half. He hammered cost of living, transit, childcare, groceries. The economy is not "great, actually"; not for the bottom half of America. Progressive shit just works.

Dude is gonna get thumped badly in November, but ok.
so did all our conservative democrats like Harris last year. Might as well run a progressive one.
Calling Harris conservative is a laugh, thanks for that.
Fun fact: Eveerything left of hunting brown people for sport is /not/ actually "the left". Conservative is a wide spectrum, of which current Republicans are at the extreme end. Similarly, a lot of what Republicans and republican media call radical left is actually their own policy from 20 years ago
As to Harris, herself? The former prosecutor/top cop? She set her image up as "tough on crime". This kind of pandering is more common to conservatives. She supported using gov. force to deal with drug problems rather than other approaches. That's quite a conservative thing to do, overall.
She also took part in the big lie about sites like backpage, and helped to destroy it. It was part of bullshit conservative moralism, where the appearance is all that matters. Indeed, backpage wasn't helping human trafficking; it was helping feds catch it. That's a very conservative thing to do.
She also worked hard, as the top cop, to ignore sexual misconduct by cops. She also defended dirty prosecutors. This kind of corruption, where having power puts someone in a special, consequence free place, is a very conservative attitude toward power structures.
Oh, and she was also strongly against fracking bans. Big oil loyalty is a big conservative mainstay. She also talked a lot during the 2024 election cycle about how the Biden administration had ramped up domestic drilling. Again, conservative stuff, right there.
Canadians were certain that our Trump-style, conservative candidate was going to win. The awesome Liberal candidate won instead. Do everything you can every day to help NY escape the Republican curse. Sending big hopes for NY. We would like to visit again.
I don’t think you realize how unpopular hard left socialism is in America.
1. He's not hard left. On the spectrum, he's not actually left, at all. But, you don't actually know about that. 2. People tend to be fans of having a better economic situation. Add that this guy gets attention, and odds are good. 3. It sounds like him losing is a "they'll see" fantasy for you.
PS: You know why Trump pulled the low information voters? Cause he stole rhetoric from Sanders, and talks a lot about the economy, and acknowledges that it's not ideal for some people. He's lying when he says he'll help, but ... low information voters are low information.
PPS. There is no hard left in America, and nobody you've heard of is pushing actual, full on socialism, at all.
