Because of dumb slogans like Defund the Police, the crime wave narrative cost Dems a lot of votes there.
So does giving up on police reform.

I dont forget that Biden never put up a fight against them.
Completely wrong since GOP never cared about deficits when they are in charge, they only care about cutting social spending which they did under Trump's term.
I don't even know what you are talking about.Point is Trump would not negotiate the debt ceiling with Dems so Biden should not have negotiated the debt ceiling with The GOP.
First, we are talking about 'inspiring' candidates. Barnes was supposed to be inspirational.
Second, Biden won Wisconsin and lost Ohio. Barnes lost a state where Biden won.
Third, how does Sherrod Brown count as a progressive when he is not even up for court expansion?
Close race against an incumbent,lost by 27,000 votes Ill take my chances with the Barnes of world than the Ryans and Senimas.
Do you understand what RAISING the debt limit means?
Dems weren't asking for spending cuts - you don't go into a debt ceiling vote asking for more spending which would defeat the purpose of a debt limit RAISING vote.
So inspiring progressive candidates are not the magic pill they were promised to be?
Losing to a MAGAtard in a state Biden won in a year favorable to Dems is hardly an achievement.
