Again, the idea that progressive policies aren't popular just isn't supported by data (e.g. polls, studies, election results, etc.). It's a nice talking point for centrists but there's a reason they can't offer anything except rhetoric and/or useless talking points (e.g. "Biden won the most votes of any candidate!").

I posted an article above about a Virginia house member who almost lost her seat, that she won rather easily in 2018. Everything she hear from her campaign was that she had to fight off being associated with defund the police and socialism, and she heard the same thing from other democratic colleagues who lost their seats.
What can you offer to support that other seats that flipped red, were flipped because the democrat wasn't running on a platform that was progressive enough?
