As a "progressive"---actually, I prefer "liberal"---, may I speak to my fellow progressives?

24. clearly i'm missing context here because without background, this is a very bizarre, naive post.

we just won an election.

what on earth would you expect any part of the coalition that elected our guy to do?

every part of the coalition is now clamoring for their people to be appointed to key positions, for their policies to be made the highest priorities, etc.

then it's biden's job to weigh all the input and balance it with his perception of political reality to arrive at the best team and the best agenda possible. but everyone tries to bend this process to their own preferred outcomes. that's the nature of politics.

so is there something i'm missing, something unique about what progressives or liberals are doing that's different from what everyone else is doing, or what everyone else has done in previous pressuring of new administrations?
