Rising: Progressive populism key to winning elections but...

Polls show that the majority of voters agree that corporations and the rich are rigging the system for themselves and not we the people. And they like the idea of raising the corporate tax rate to pay for social programs. And yet the Dem base is not as engaged as the Repugs. Why?

The Dem Party has learned that they must talk progressive in order to win votes. And yet both the Party and Biden, now that they are elected, are abandoning progressive policies in droves while continuing to cater to corporations and the rich. Hence the base rightfully feels abandoned yet again after all the broken promises. And we're frustrated even with the progressive wing since they won't use their power to force issues. We just don't believe them anymore when they don't walk their talk.
