The establishment dems and the donors are the main things keeping progressives down at this moment. Get rid of Citzens United and see how fair the game is
Progressives would have way more power if they stuck with economics.

OP is so right. Democrats have been hijacked promoting an agenda even hardcore liberals on TYT are starting to look side eyed at.
Not me
anyway the difference between liberals' and a progressive is valleys apart.
I assume progressive means more economics drievn?

No they wouldn't. All that matters to most white voters is racism, to the point that they will vote for more racism even if it hurts their pocketbooks.

No one should feel sorry for Progressives
They took the topics talked about 1950/60s Civil Rights movement meant specifically for the Black struggle and b*stardized it to fit their narrative
And were also the ones who changed the narrative from tangible Economic progress to worshipping Political figureheads
Only have themselves to blame

They do this all the time and it doesn't change anything. They still just see it as redistributing wealth to "those Blacks and others."
They're still pushing for this. And all politics are identity politics.
That would require them to actually study and to be able to debate their arguments with facts and numbers. Most of these politicians arent that smart. Having that be the platform would negate alot of their most charasmatic "talent". Who have the best chance to win over voters who dont understand a thing about economics.
But you could always win based on nonsense,AND still focus on economics once in power. But they seem focused on identity politics their entire stay in office

This! White working class folk are for social programs as long as Black folk don't benefit.This isn't true at all

Elizabeth Warren tried this. Hell, Hillary Clinton tried this, but people didn't like it. The voting public doesn't like wonks. We live in a country where the right have successfully brainwashed people into believing being educated [on a subject] is a bad thing.
You must not know many broke ass white people
They still want to overturn Obamacare, they just can't right now.
Understanding money ain’t enough. Plenty of people understand money but are still broke. If you can understand and control your emotions is a better gauge of you being broke or not. It’s more behavioral than technical knowledge holding people back.
Agree to disagree
Identity politics is why white people are stalling on all this shyt. It’s not black voters. Black people are already on board. Class reductionists never want to be accountable for their shyt and ask why white voters are the wall to overcome for this. Look at who is voting for what!
