They're loud, but not necessarily many.
They are passionate, and therefore will turn out to vote.
American voter turnout is generally pretty low. The best year in over 100 years was 2020 with still only about 2/3 of eligible voters showing up to vote.
These things combined make it seem impossible for Democrats or progressive independents to win almost anywhere. All it takes is candidates impressive enough to break through to the people who aren't showing up to vote. Milquetoast weiners aren't exciting enough for this, and neither is the strategy of trying to court the right.
