[quote=Anonymous][quote]Funnily enough, actual progressive policies have massive appeal to the average voter. Most people can get behind bring down healthcare and pharmaceutical costs. Most people can get behind getting billionaires out of government and paying actual taxes. Most people can get behind stronger workers rights. These are actual progressive policies. Not the liberal BS the media has convinced you is actually progressivism. Progressive policy is about supporting working people. Dems and the GOP are hostile to such policy because they serve the rich.[/quote]

But the problem is that there are a lot of other progressive policies that are just bat$hit crazy and those are the ones that the right wing media echochamber leans hard into.  Just look at the progressives who control the DC Council.  The crime policies alone drive away normal sane people.  26 year olds who commit heinous acts of violence are not "juveniles".  13 yos who carjack people at gunpoint need to be locked up in a juvenile detention facility and not released back into the same environments that created that behavior.  And you cannot do progressive economic policies in a vacuum ---look at MoCo and MD where the state is now in economic extremis due to overspending and all the progressives want to do is jack taxes further and drive businesses and higher income people away from the state.  People also understand that "stronger workers' rights" in the progressive lexicon often translates into programs that the lazy use to game the system.   Progressives need to pivot to the middle.
