Yes... I bet if they'd put up someone who's actually on the left, it would be a different story. Like, I don't love everything about Bernie (because he's not as "left"as I'd like), but I would have gladly voted for him against Trump. Millions of young people would have gotten excited to go vote for him too.
Every election the Dems fight tooth and nail to stop actual progressives from being allowed into the general. They put up their centrists instead. So of course they aren't "left" enough.
