    You mean like Bernie Sanders, who the democratic party fought harder against than Trump? Good luck getting a progressive candidate to pass through the party-controlled primary process.

      Persistence is key, and there are other political offices & levels of government. Republicans didn’t take power by limiting their focus to the federal presidency. Internecine battles don’t necessarily promote more progressives onto ballots.
