You can only sympathize if you've personally also lived the experience. You can, however, empathize with anyone.

You mixed up sympathy and empathy.

Empathy is to understand and share another's feeling
Sympathy is to feel pity/sorry for their misfortune

Why don't Democrats then run to the left as that gets more votes then.

Most Dems are just bad at politics, but it's also an extremely progressive district (despite the programmer bro stereotype). Majority minority, and Trump types get egged on sight here.

Hopefully he's just powerhungry so he'll actually vote for progressive policies when they have a chance of passing. if he's secretly still pro tech business then :whitewater:

There's really no doubt that he's pro-tech, the question is how he'll balance that against the progressive mandate he's been trying to claim for the past three or so years.

a bit of cursory googling suggests he's a typical "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" type, except adjusted slightly to fit the sensibilities of the Silicon Valley business community

he's pro-choice and generally anti-discrimination, but he also talks a lot about "burdensome regulations" and "reducing tax burdens" on business, and many of his supposedly pro-worker ideas are things like "offer businesses a tax credit to hire people" and "offer businesses tax credits to train workers"

in 1987 it was over 61%, and in 1995 it was 58%

this year is only the second time since 2000 that it's broken 51%, and the first time since 2005 that it's broken 50%

such progress, indeed
