Maybe, just maybe, talking like this makes him LESS vulnerable.
For years, pundits and media have been telling us Democrats need to move to the center, and for years, they have been. It's done them no good at all. I could argue it's harmed them. The Democrats who have moved or stuck to the left (AOC, Mamdani, Bernie, Pritzker, Platner, etc.) are the ones who seem to be the most popular with the most loyal and hardworking base, who excite people and bring out the voters. Why can't other Democrats see that?
My personal conclusion is because of big donors, who truly are not leftists and don't want leftist policies. Democrats should stop chasing big donor money and start running honest, democratic candidates who "talk like this" and mean it.
