And they will not be progressive.

20% of House reps are in the Progressive Caucus, we're not starting at zero here.

And they will not make it into the party full time. Just see how vilified the Squad is.

The Squad exists. The bigger they get, the harder they are to bully. Seat by seat.

Building up dual power by organizing in Communist Parties, yes. That's what I recommend.

Which is it? Can progressive candidates get elected, or not?

-You don't stop fascism by voting it out, the conditions for it remain until Capitalism is overthrown.

How, pray tell, does one overthrow Capitalism? If you lack the support and coordination to elect progressives, where are you finding support and coordination for the revolution? I feel like a broken record, you keep ignoring this.

Again, even if everyone voted for PSL this election, they cannot beat the network of checks and balances. Capitalist States are designed against change.

Again, the more pieces of those checks and balances you control, the looser their grip.

The State must be smashed and replaced by a State-as-non-state, ie an organization of workers units in a syndicate

Magic and vibes.

The groundwork is organizing outside the bounds of Capitalist Electoralism, Congress will never shift progressive, you're trying to rewrite history.

If it's impossible for Congress to shift progressive, progressives don't deserve to win.

More magic and vibes, trying to beat the overhwhelming forces of Capital with hopes and dreams, rather than material efforts.

If democratizing your workplace and directly engaging your local elections to generate more viable progressive representatives aren't "material efforts", I don't recognize your use of the term.
