Have Schumer and Jefferies forgotten how to hold a press conference?

Nope, not playing that game. Been down that road too many times. You well know the specific policies that Progressives have been advocating for decades.

Let's look back to the 1850s. Critics: "the Whigs should more aggressively oppose slavery." Whig leadership response - "What's your alternative? Be specific."

The Whigs thought that the pro-slavery forces would go too far, and that would then lead to Whig electoral wins. Ff they just played it safe, the opposition party would self-destruct - "commit suicide" - if "we got out of their way." But that didn't happen. It was the Whigs who self-destructed with their timidity and compromises.
