Does the far left have to win more elections to prove they are right? [View All]

[bigtree]

Just what does it mean that the country hasn't embraced candidates who are seen as far-left in presidential elections. What does it say about their argument? Can the far-left convince the rest of us of the rightness of their argument and the worth of their candidates with the dismal record of success statewide and in presidential contests?

I realize that in the House there is a sizable contingent of far-left representatives. But not in the Senate.

What does it say about the message of the far-right since they have trouble electing candidates statewide or nationally?

I think what the voters decide matters. I believe the fact that these far-left candidates don't get elected is a reflection on the popularity of their message. That's why I am baffled by the claim that they would do better than more centrist candidates in the general election. Where is the evidence of that?

Hasn't the far-left movement failed so far in converting the majority of the electorate? Or does it matter at all that their message doesn't seem to produce a majority of votes?

Or am I wrong about this?
