Well you just named a handful of progressives. And the Reagan Democrat establishment Center hates progressives. They continue to do everything they can to destroy them.
Here's an example from not so far back:
The war on progressives, waged by Centrist establishment Democrats, continues.
The War on the Progressive Wing of the Democratic Party
Corporate interests are coming for the millions of progressive voters who joined with the center left to elect Joe Biden and a Democratic Congress.
By Jeff Weaver
MAY 16, 2022
EXCERPT :
My friends, war has been openly declared on the growing progressive wing of the Democratic Party—on the millions who rallied to the agenda of economic and social equality that Bernie Sanders and progressive candidates across the country are advancing.
As reported, a corporatist coup within
the Democrat Party, which started
during the 2021 special elections, has
been launched by a wide array of allied
groups including cryptospeculators,
the oil industry, pharmaceuticals,
finance, and even Republicans.
Make no mistake, the goal of the war is
to make elected progressives extinct
and to extinguish the agenda of higher
wages, affordable health care, criminal
justice reform, addressing climate
change, and putting more economic
and political power in the hands of
everyday people of all races.
Tragically, this assault by the
corporatists appears to be aided by
organs of our own Party. In the open
seat in Oregon's Fifth Congressional
district, cryptospeculator Sam
Bankman-Fried put some $10 million
on the table to propel an unknown
adherent of his cultish Effective
Altruism movement against three
women of color. A week later, House
Majority PAC, the official House
Democratic Caucus super PAC, put in
$1 million to back him as well.
(Prompting sharp criticism from
Senator Jeff Merkely and national
Latino leaders.) Coincidence or quid
pro quo? Nancy Pelosi can't coordinate
with this super PAC behind the scenes,
but she can make public statements
about their conduct. Something tells me they would listen if she spoke up. [But she is a Centrist establishment Democrat.]
And at a time when the right to an abortion is about to be eviscerated by the Supreme Court, House Democratic leaders are frantically fundraising, arguing that they will protect reproductive rights. Simultaneously, they are rushing to defend anti-choice, corporate-friendly Representative Henry Cuellar against progressive Jessica Cisneros.
The White House political shop (which is now not-so-jokingly called the Committee for Assisted Democratic Suicide in some circles) has not only botched the politics around Biden’s legislative agenda but is now taking a sledgehammer to Biden’s electoral coalition. This year, they’ve had the president make endorsements in just two House primaries.
The first was for Representative Kurt Schrader. Schrader not only worked to gut Biden’s Build, Back, Better bill, but also voted against the initial House version of the Covid relief bill. (Not to mention that his reelection is opposed by local Democratic organizations that represent 90 percent of the Democratic voters in the district.)
[ thankfully my fellow Oregon progressives voted him out in favor of a real for the people Democrat]
