No, traditional Democrats are not too "fringe" for the electorate.
Every single poll this year showed that the electorate was far more on the page of traditional Democrats than the corporate candidates we were offered. Across party lines, voters favored protecting SS and Medicare and curbing military spending.
And the proof of the lie is that the candidates all pivot LEFTWARD every single election season to win voters. They lie and say that they will support a public option, or protect Social Security, because they know that is what voters want to hear. But as soon as the election is over, it's back to the business of the one percent.
That is what happens when corporations buy elections. And posts like the one you just made are what happens when corporations buy the media.
