Cenk's passionate plea for progressives

He makes the case that the number one problem for progressives is the establishment in their own Party. Yes, Repugs are a problem, but by definition Dems are out to defeat them. So how to defeat them? By vigorously supporting what polls repeatedly show what we the people want, like Medicare For All, fair taxation, a living wage and so on. And progressives are the only ones genuinely fighting for those issues. Establishment Dems give lip service to them in order to get votes but their actions belie their facade. And to challenge establishment Dems requires progressives to do so fiercely. Playing nice only enables the Demosaurs to keep up the same old same old, making promises to appease that they will not keep. Hence why  we love The Squad, who are doing exactly that.
