Open Left

True It's NOT 1994, But

the more things change, the more they stay the same, and the same dynamics of running from hard fights, seeking strength in the center, and marginalizing the left are all being repeated.  So while it's important to keep your points in mind, they don't really undermine the central thrust of Mike's argument.

Which, in turn, is not really at odds with your conclusion:

We need more progressives in Congress, not just to retain an overwhelmingly centrist Democratic base

Which, of course, I totally agree with.
