Stop huffing 10 year old copium and engage with reality. Progressive politics are on the ascendancy, and people are ABSOLUTELY FUCKING SICK of Radical Centrism™️. Schumer and Jeffries need to go, for sure, but this is the best time to launch a Progressive in years.

And actually, it was the best time in decades. But we've seen how this ends. Obama made extravagant progressive promises, had a supermajority, and all he did with it was advance fascism, expand the wars he'd promised to end, and make health care more expensive.

Until I see them actually vote otherwise, I have to assume Democrats have every intention of wasting the next two years and making themselves wealthier, and in 2028, handing things back off to Republicans.

Hoping I'm wrong, but we'll see.
