I am going to disagree with you there as the majority of Americans appear to actually favor the policies the Democrats generally propose. It's the GOP Leadership that has convinced them otherwise.

e.g. Paid Family Leave, Medicare Expansion (happening often by ballot initiatives *over* republic objection), etc. See https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/27/majority-of-americans-support-progressive-policies-such-as-paid-maternity-leave-free-college.html

Voting rights expansion, net neutrality, lower drug costs, universal firearm background checks, lower cost daycare, consumer rights advocation, aggressive environment protection....etc.

These aren't controversial ideas people.
