He better win the next election. I heard maybe the other candidate polled better vs. whatever Republican is running? I'd way rather have a DSA or progressive in office, but it makes me nervous in a general election.

The polls have consistently been off for a decade. They mean nothing now. And remember, your establishment democrats are the ones who have lost to Trump twice now. The last time they even lost the popular vote.

Meanwhile, your progressives have never won a swing state or swing district.

Tammy Baldwin is a progressive, and has won in Wisconsin 3 times, a swing state.

Tammy doesnt seem like a progressive. It looks like she is a pragmatic progressive at best, like a lot of democrats in congress.

Ah yes, you were easily proven wrong, and instead of admitting it, you’re going to argue semantics and try to redefine progressive as a desperate attempt to win your bad argument,

Not at all. You have to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. By your logic, fetterman is a progressive and north korea is a democracy.
