Maybe this is just me, but in the past two decades in which I’ve been politically active, and in what I’ve studied of the past, I have never seen anyone ever support a strategy of trying to move already-elected politicians further left.

Biden ended up being further left than I thought he would be, but I don’t remember anyone suggesting pre-election that he could be pushed further left.
