The Democrats are obsessed with getting moderate Republicans to vote for them. They have disillusioned millions of working-class voters for a few thousand former Trump voters.

If the Democrats started to push Medicare For All, a living wage, mandated sick/vacation/parental leave, etc., sure, she could win. The MAGA propaganda machine is going to call any Democratic candidate a communist anyway, so have everyone push these and break through the echo chamber.

So the person who was president four years ago and has complete control of the Republican party is not considered the establishment. Got it.
