The far left politics only failed because Bernie Sanders wasn't well known enough to beat the Hillary Clinton machine.  It came close though (Despite the DNC helping her).  Hillary wasn't progressive enough for voters, and it's why most of them didn't come out to vote for her.  Voter turnout was down by a lot, especially in areas where she needed wins.  The Democrats you'd support are DINOs.  Heck, HIllary was a DINO for that matter.  You're not going to support a liberal, unless they're basically a conservative.  And that's not really the votes we should be after.  For every vote you take from Trump, you probably lose a vote to third party.  I'd have probably considered voting for Jill Stein over Hillary if she stood a chance, and if she hadn't chosen a nutjob as a VP showing poor judgment.
