I wish democrats would be extreme in pursuing things like government-provided healthcare, taxing the rich, being anti-war, making education affordable, etc. That would excite voters, yes.
There's a part of me that wishes Democrats would aggressively push for clean energy, going so far as to put pressure on and give incentives to countries we trade with to do the same. However, having a government that went to great lengths to actually do that would ensure they would lose the support of swing state voters, especially those living in economies dependent on harmful forms of energy as a chief export. For whatever cause you think is crucial to address, there's another part of the Democratic party, largely residing in swing states, that would jump ship quickly (or just simply not vote due to confusion of which party holds their interests in mind) if Democrats were to go all in on addressing that issue.
