Dumbest statement i have ever heard discussing politics . Were a right winger told me .

The American have rejected your ideology . If progressivism were popular Bernie would have won 

Really let's see 

1.Poll after poll shows many progressive policies are very popular 

2. Bernie moved ideas that were fringe progressive idea's into the mainstream 

3. Progressives have done well in primaries

4. The most popular idea's don't always translate to election victories .So it says nothing of an ideology if someone doesn't  win 

5. Ideology isn't the sole thing people vote on 

6. I pretty sure all the Americans who are progressives didn't reject progressivism

7. If people accepted Trumpism  why are his approval ratings so low ?

It isn’t so much that progressivism been rejected as that it hasn’t yet been fully embraced. It’s also true that a lot of people won’t embrace it because of the associations. If you ask someone, ‘What do you think about AOC’s plan to make college more affordable?’ you’ll be met with hostility and charges of socialism. If you ask that same person, ‘What would you think of a GOP plan to make college tuition tax deductible?’, they’ll react positively.
