Tomorrow progressives will say “Look at all the power we have & all the wonderful things we can do for people now!” Then corporatist Dems will whine “Yeah but we didn’t get a mandate & there’s another election in 2 years so we better be really careful & go slow.” Do not let them!

Joe Manchin basically already tweeted that.
Oh I am reminded of how useless the Democrats are.
Oh yeah. Obama had a super majority and he still cries about not having the votes. It’s ridiculous.

It's time to push hard. We need people like you to help organize and lead protests. Every member of the squad should be doing the same. No excuses.

Last night was a reason to celebrate, no doubt. But power is useless if you don’t use it. We’ll see right away if D’are willing to do away with the filibuster. If not, everyone needs to dial back that ambitious wish list of policies.

What's likely to happen is that there will be a crapshoot with every progressive measure, every step from farm to fork. Everybody who wants something will be encouraged to play like it's all about them. The RNC will use it
