Are Repugs outflanking the Dems?

Are the Repugs going to win by out-progressing the Dems? This Rising clip shows how the Repugs are backing a UBI-like cash payment of $1000 to working people in this time of pandemic. Meanwhile the Dems proposals are far less, except for Sanders whom they ignore. So will the Repugs be more progressive than the Dems in this time of need?


It's exactly what Dump did in 2016, promising all sorts of progressive policies to the left of Hillary. We knew it was all lies but it worked for his ignorant supporters. And it's what Dump and Repugs are doing again and it will work again unless establishment Dems will start promoting the sort of progressive policies that Bernie has. Biden has made a start in that direction but we progressives have to keep pushing the Party that way so that the common voter actually believes they are authentically genuine about it, not mere status quo stooges. Let's not lose again on issues that the Dem Party used to own while the Repugs outflank us.
