    Pray tell, how are a handful of the 435 representatives the house supposed to pass meaningful legislation on their own?

    They vote on moderate bills because there’s no better alternative and no way to get there YET. Cultivating an image around progressive ideas at least ensures that they enter the public discourse. This will take time to wrench the pendulum back from the center right

    Talk about throwing the baby out with the bathwater

      Not to mention, a lot of Congressional work happens in committee and in their home states. Counting primary sponsorship of bills is a terrible way to measure activity.
