It seems like progressives are finally making headway within the Democratic party. This has needed to happen for a decade. The Democrats have been working really hard to prevent it from happening, but I guess they can't completely shut it down. The next decade will tell whether or not the Democrats can be a real conduit for progressivism, but if they can't be, then both-sides-ism will be the least of your problems.
