    Assuming the political leanings of the populous are measured in a vacuum, sure. But they aren’t.

    Right, we also aren’t measuring political leanings worldwide. We are measuring them in the United States.

    In the United States leftist have very few voters and candidates because of its lack of popularity.

    When your only options of votes are “guys who have a hard-on for fascism” and “let’s appeal to those who aren’t entirely sold but are willing to see where the fascism goes”,

    The reason these are the two options are because these options win in the primaries by the majority of voters choosing them in a democracy.

    Leftists run in the primaries and lose fairly, even to AIPAC candidates.
