You need to remember Hillary was a historically awful candidate, and she needed 130,000 votes in three states and she would have won. Basically a male version of Hillary (like say, I don't know....Joe Biden?) almost certainly would have won in 2016. Americans might like the idea in theory of Bernie or Warren, until they are facing tax increases at which point they like the idea of the mental patient who will cut their taxes instead. You are overestimating where most Americans are on the political spectrum, and forgetting the electoral college decides things. The fact 70% of California might love Bernie is irrelevant to the fact 50% of Pennsylvania or Ohio don't.
