I'm seeing people in this very thread being hesitant to admit that Democrats should probably court progressives for a victory.

A lot of people, even here on Lemmy, which is supposed to be quite left leaning, would rather Trump win than throw progressives a bone.

Perhaps I'm just reading into this too much, but it seems like Democrats are being actively hostile against progressives right now. How are we supposed to change things if they are being outright hostile towards progressivism?

This is the uphill battle that Democrats are going to have to face. You can't continuously alienate your voter base and then expect positive results. The base factually is already alienated. The question is, what will Democrats do to win them back? Is it too late? The clock is ticking And I don't think the Democrats are learning the correct lesson.
