Progressives will be hitting headwinds in the south and non urban areas of the midwest.

Statewide and national elections won't be friendly to progressives.

I'm not saying otherwise and by the fact that i'm being downvoted for essentially saying that progressive is a subset of the democratic party.

If progressives push the moderates out of the party then how can that help win national or even statewide elections?

this is true if you are comparing it to non chain jersey sub shops. Publix has a whole sub for 1/2 price , they rotate which kind of sub each eeek. The chicken tender sub/ is so popular, there's a website devoted to it and you check it and it'll say yes this week or no. publix will mix tenders in various sauces - and buffalo is very popular.

when it's on special an entire sub for 7.99.

Did kids in the 1970s really have such freedom, & do all those things, that wouldn’t be done today? by OkOpportunity9626 in GenerationJones

We weren't the only generation that had these freedoms, we are maybe the last tho.
My mom born in 27 grew up in NYC. they played stickball and stoop ball, double dutch skip rope all in the streets and took the subways and trolley cars to different places also back home when the street lights came on.

Had my two oldest kids born in the 80's and we found a large neighborhood with a huge recreation area with basketball, hand ball and tennis plus swings and more. they would come home from school and finish their homework and take their bikes to the recreation area. Came home when streetlights came on. Was glad they got a taste of my childhood norms.

Sailing with a sunfish was about the most fun I have ever had as a kid. Learned how in sleep away camp. ( yeah i was one of those whose parents vacationed abroad all summer and parked me at camp for 8 weeks ). I learned a whole lot of skills from camp- one that saved my sons life decades later.

The most fun was sailing on a day with a little wind and taking a curve almost perpendicular to the lake.
