“Want to go rightwards” - are you fucking high?

No, I just have the misfortune of preferring unpleasant data over feel-good circlejerks about how we're TOTALLY the silent majority, despite all evidence to the contrary.

People want common sense approaches to social problems.

You do realize this is the exact line that right-wingers say amongst themselves about why people REALLY want a far-right corporatocrat theocracy, right?

More people I know who voted for Trump like and respect Sanders more than any other Dem candidate in the last decade because he’s authentic and true to himself and his beliefs.

Unfortunately, that transfers approximately not-at-fucking-all to electoral success in swaying them to vote for anyone but the fascist ghouls, in the same way that Nazi voters always knew one "good Jew" or modern American right-wing voters always know one person who "deserves" public services or is a "good" member of the LGBT community who deserves their identity.

They'll vote for the Holocaust all the same, but at least you'll get an asspat out of it, right?

They don’t think his proposed solutions are going to work, but they’re willing to have a conversation and meet in the middle. The all or nothing ideologues running the Dem right now have no fucking idea what they’re doing, they’re trashing the joint - whether by malice or idiocy is moot at this point. Get these people OUT

"The REAL problem is that the current Dems aren't willing to compromise and meet in the middle with the fascists!"

Lord.

And you say this is a LESS far-right solution?

Jesus Christ.
