The Dems have moved left because progressives have forced their hand. And you're right, progressives have woken up to the fact that their best bet to be given more concessions is by forcing the DNC to come to them. It just sucks that if they do it during this particular election, they get stuck with a literal fascist.

Again, the smart thing to do is to primary incumbents in strong-blue districts and continue to build their strength in congress. Also, maybe threaten to stay home in 2022 and turn Biden into a lame duck president.
