Progressive values are highly favored in polls. Biden barely squeaked in with a centrist campaign. If Dems want to stand out from the right-wing crowd, we need to push for real reforms to HELP people. i.e. "radical" progressivism. If Mitch is able to block helpful things for two years, and if we exploit his malfeasance to show people how much he's hurting them, Mitch will be gone or reduced to a minority.
