#proggressive

The proggressive movement is still strong, a ton of them just wound up voting for Biden.  We need to not imagine the progressive movement as the majority of the party overthrowing our corporate overlords but the progressives make up about 40% of the Democratic Party, though that number goes up to 75% of we look at general values rather than specific identification.  And in this particular election, a lot of progressives decided to go with Biden, who they think can win, rather than go with Sanders who hasn’t done a good job with outreach.  The movement itself is still large, we still basically dominate the internet discourse, and we have the most popular policies.  What we haven’t figured out is how to build bases.  basically in this election, there wasn’t a single “progressive” movement, but instead several different camps, split between Sanders, Warren, Harris, Mayor Pete, Booker, and Castro.  As those latter dropped out, Biden picked them up because Sanders didn’t modify his message.  Which means that a lot of people supporting Biden are themselves progressive.  We need to reach out to them more in the future.  

1) Well the thing with AOC is that the proggressives real place to gain power is in smaller elections.  Despite the loss of Warren and the likely loss of Sanders, we have managed to pull the party to the left overall get alot of our issues discussed publicly.  Since Biden is likely going to be a one term president, we can try to do this again next time.   

In my opinion it is not about the genre. As DJ you have to know how to create a story so that people lose themselves in the music and feel what you are playing. It does not matter if a track has i.e. about 250 bpm but no story which should be told - I cannot lose myself in a set or track if there is no story behind. And some progressive sets can have a nice story which can send you into a very nice trip.
