    Honestly, that’s bullshit. The left shows up to vote consistently for the Democrats. All polling data confirms that the people who stay home are the disengaged and the moderates. It’s not that people can’t agree on what is left enough, it’s that the center tries to win votes from the right by demonizing the left, and it doesn’t work. Successful campaigns across the political spectrum are persuasive and idealogical. The voters are never going to be more enthusiastic than the candidate.
