The alternative is what every progressive has been screaming about for over a decade now:

Thank you for proving my point. Screaming for a decade and zero progress.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

What an insane reversal of historical reality: Both Obama and Biden ran on promising progressive economic reform and won. They dissappointed when it came time to deliver but they still won.

Clinton and Harris explicitly didn't promise anything other than being "not Trump" and ate colossal shit on live TV.

So where are you getting this idea that progressive economic reform is not electable? Is it because it fails in democratic primaries? Is it because the party itself tries to stifle it?

I'll just point out that the Democratic Party controls the state caucuses. Bernie did better in the cuacus states than he did in the ones with with an election. Yeah, the Dems were trying to stop him so much.
