Progressive policies win swing districts

So says this polling. Dems need to dump that centrist corporate shit if they want to win.

"Almost three-quarters of the voters surveyed, for instance, supported “Medicare for All.” Policies dealing with cheaper prescription drugs, infrastructure, protecting Social Security and Medicare, and cracking down on Wall Street, are exceedingly popular with swing and surge voters alike, the survey found. [...] The results show enthusiastic support for progressive policies in 30 swing districts, mostly held by Republican incumbents."

"Another takeaway from the memo,
Jayapal said, is that talking about race is not something Democrats 'should shy away from.' Support for a policy to 'improve opportunity for working and low-income families — white, black, and brown — by investing $2 trillion in rebuilding our roads, bridges, schools, and communities, while creating millions of good-paying jobs' had more support among likely voters than the phrasing of the policy that did not include race."
