Progressive's Path To Victory Is Clear...If They Decide To Follow It

Well, frankly I feel that you know without a coordinated offensive right, like the one that you're advocating for. where it's a broad policy set that includes rights for humans for all American's economic rights. I think the theme of the show today is democratic leadership failures. and it's just these tweaks to the system you're seating the framing to the right-wing in the way that you describe Harvey. so I mean we also in talking about the response to the shooting we were saying how there needs to be a massive shift in leadership. There's an absence of imagination that I think is inherent to this and they wouldn't even entertain these concepts frankly.
Alex might well mention that the candidates at least that his organization progressive democrats have embraced and endorsed have themselves been asked whether they could take this on as part of their mission. and just before we get into that, I'll just say that my greatest hope was that Nina Turner was going to win in Cleveland because she was so enthusiastic about this. and I thought this would be the excuse for the metaphor the vehicle to take this into the progressive caucus. or at least into the squad to the word rejuvenate is improper because they're all much younger than I am. but to revive the energies that we saw at the outset of their formation.
Yeah no I mean it's sort of crazy that the progressive movement at large doesn't lead more with economics. I mean simply put and for decades and currently at this moment with inflationary concerns economics is polling is the top concern for the American public. Okay, right there you have to speak to the electorate. okay, the left progressive movement has allowed itself to be defined by basic jerks like bill Maher as being all about you know messaging that suffocates public discourse. okay, or whatever issue of the day they want to highlight as what the left progress is about. You look at the work of the actual progressives in congress in this congress last year and what they were focused on just absolutely laser-focused on was making all of the statutes and building back better, more economically progressive. you know the center-right would say no this goes too far. they would take it in another direction. they'd even propose something better. so the actual work they were doing was on core economics. and really if we had a unified left progressive movement which we need to have because we're looking at the absence of a leading progressive presidential candidate for 2024. and we need to have coordination where economic messaging is at the front and center of what we stand for. because these are incredibly popular positions when you fill in the public policy positions for all 10 of those points. I mean you look at the polling, you look at the polling among registered democrats and it's an astronomical blowout that we should be winning all of these elections. Now we know the power of incumbency. the power of money. and all that can do to pollute the airwaves in these small congressional districts can skew the results. and that's what we're seeing across the country. We had a, you know, victory against massive amounts of money in Pennsylvania last week.
