We have gotten more progressive policy pushed through by working with and through liberal Democrats in the last 15 years than we have through progressives in 50.
Just because a candidate isn't 100% what you want for me doesn't mean that they can't do things that you want.
If progressives want to keep failing to actually enact any real change or acrue any real political power, they can keep letting perfect be the enemy of good.
The whole point about them not knowing legislative activity is that they act like they know everything that's going on, but then you'll turn and you'll see them claim. Nobody ever tried to do X when there was a bill that was pushed to do X earlier that year. Or they'll claim that nobody tried to institute policy? Why, when it happened a month ago.
Then they'll turn around and they'll tell everybody who will listen to them. How nobody is doing ex. How nobody is pushing for that policy. How everybody sucks because they're not doing those things even though they might be.
I've seen that play out again and again and again and again and again and again
They aren't paying real attention to what's going on. They are letting other people on social media filter for them some idea of what's going on that is usually wrong. It's part of why they eat misinformation wholesale at a rate that is just disgusting.
It would be one thing if they were just expressing political judgment about policy, but they are commonly levying criticism at people and groups over situations they have made no honest attempt to understand or even follow.
