With the problem that if by "the Left" you mean Hillary Clinton, then...
* The "Left" are more of the country, by 3 million votes.
* The "Left" aren't even all that left-wing. Hillary said $12/hour was a high-enough minimum wage. Nancy Pelosi said, "We're capitalists." Obama dropped the Employee Free Choice Act in 2008.
So in this context, a "vote against the Left" comes across as a vote to suppress the already-suppressed political majority.
