Do you really think single-payer healthcare (versus the individual mandate in ObamaCare) was ever going to pass in the US? Obama literally adopted a Republican proposal for how to improve healthcare coverage, and the Republicans have spent every year since railing against it.
As someone who's pretty far to the left, I don't see how a (fiscally) far-left candidate/party would make any progress in the US. The centre is just so damn skewed towards "individual responsibility" and other bullshit that voters apparently love.
As a salesperson, isn't it your job to be an expert on what makes people buy things? If the people hiring you have to provide the playbook, you aren't adding much value over any other candidate.
It's like a developer asking "what code would you pay me to write?"
