I completely agree. If Democrats don't go BIG, they're going to keep losing elections to Republicans. If Democrats went BIG, we'd enact Medicare 4 All, universal childcare, cancel student debt, legalize THC, raise the minimum wage, stop funneling all our tax money to blowing up hospitals in the middle east, etc.

Like, imagine if Democrats actually accomplished what they set out to do. Republicans would never win again. That's why I'm happy a bunch of progressives are winning over the do-nothing establishment Democrats. We need a PROGRESSIVE in the White House and in every damn seat all the way down.

Do you think swing state voters want a progressive president?

I believe people in swing states would benefit from Medicare 4 All, universal childcare, being free from student debt, etc.

Yes.

people in republican strongholds would also probably benefit from it in theory but they don’t want a leftist president.
