The problem is that the broader Democratic electorate is a much bigger tent, with overall much more moderate politics, than online leftists are typically willing to admit

Polls show progressive policy isn't just popular with Dems, but all voters...

That's life mate, I'm sorry it doesn't agree with your opinions, but it's the truth.

That's why Obama's 08 campaign did so fucking well, despite not really being that progressive in any other developed country.

The neoliberal experiment has only benefited the wealthy, stop defending them, they got lawyers and lobbyists for them, pick people over corps and we can get something done.

That is until they're told it's a Dem policy.

And of course the progressives actually show up to vote.

Neoliberals are Republicans, so we're already not defending them.
