If Pelosi & Schumer et al continue to treat progressive change agents like undisciplined rowdy children who need to be locked in their rooms while the grownups make their back room deals, then the Democratic Party will lose any moral authority it has left & ‘22 will be a disaster

However, in their defense, the progressive wing must present a more clear, concise and cogent proposal complete with solid defense of objections. Get the debate out of the way and move on.

What the past 4 years has clearly and unequivocally demonstrated, is that the entire political system is polluted and corrupted. #VoteThemAllOut #BeTheChange

That is the threat isn’t it... @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris @Transition46 have to come in full throttle. Get rid of all trump appointees, add new Dem leadership, and get pandemic relief $2k monthly retroactive to the people. Feed and educate everyone no matter where they live.

Dems must go BIG or 2022 is a bust.

Pelosi & Schumer don't see losing seats to Republicans as a problem, they're more worried about losing seats to progressives.

They're pandering..... Until we can make it so that "progressive" and "liberal" aren't the worst words ever in our red states... They have to prevent too much of it. Better idea? Show what progressive ideas can build. Do small experiments with UBI / Free state college etc.

They are not, what Neoprogressives failed to understand, we have to win the center bc leftist don't vote in high %. Suburban voters do. Black voters who are overwhelmingly centrist do. Joe won those voters. Nancy held the house. Dems have to win center right districts.
