The majority of Americans support progressive policies, despite identifying as moderate or conservative.
So, Dems should abandon timid, cautious pragmatic incrementalism, and once the filibuster is dead and the court is expanded, Ram through bill after bill of legislation restoring democracy and repairing the damage of the Trump era.
If Dems govern fearlessly, unhesitatingly, progressively, and most importantly, effectively , voters, especially young voters, will reward them with majorities for a generation.
But first the people must elect more courageous Dems willing to kill the filibuster and expand the court, without fear of what the republicans might do. If Dems govern effectively, voters wont give republicans the trifecta again for decades (see: FDRs New Deal)
