Let's name Democrats who won on populist message.

Maybe we'll learn something.

I'll start with Alan Grayson.

Next, Senator Jeff Merkley from Oregon. IIRC, he won by 18 points.

Who else had the guts to run as a DEMOCRAT? And how did he/she do?

1. Mostly our guys ran away from the Democratic label as much as possible.

We are the chickenshit party.

9. Peter Shumlin is the most liberal governor in the country by a... country mile

and he barely, and I do mean barely, eked out a win. The election will go to the legislature to be decided. As both chambers are heavily democratic, he'll get it, but he ran against a token republican with ZERO experience who ran a terrible and ill financed campaign.
 
your thesis is highly flawed.

No, maybe you'll learn something this way.
