But electoralism has less to do with policy than narrative. Most people vote against progressive policies because the prevailing narrative paints them as tyrannical government overstep, and like it or not "socialism" is a scary word to the very people who would benefit most. You don't win by being right, you win by convincing people to vote for you. The ones campaigning on progressive policies are bad at that
