FDR (a progressive and the most re-elected and longest serving US president) was first elected 23 presidential cycles ago, and there have only been 59 presidential cycles since the country’s founding. He was far from perfect, but his progressive economic policy and creation of the New Deal coalition to combat the great depression made him the most popular president in US history. You’re welcome to dismiss it as a fluke or insist again that it was too long ago to be relevant but denying that it even happened doesn’t help your position.
The moderate dems barely lost in 2024 but progressives haven’t even been a rounding error in an election in the last sixty presidential cycles.
Moderate dems aren’t unelectable and Biden showed that.
