“Vote for us because even though we suck and won’t reflect your values the other guys suck even worse” is a terrible voter motivation technique and only leads to disenchantment. Then old moderates will whine that the progressives and young don’t vote, the cycle perpetuates, and the US continues its march further and further right.
