The problem is that regressives will keep trying over and over to make things worse. They only need to win once, while progressives need to win every bettle just for things to not get worse.

You're right, but an even bigger problem is that to win any battle you have to show up, and 10 million democrats who voted in 2020 didn't bother to vote in 2024. Given Trump's slim margins in all the swing states, these absent dems could have given Kamala the landslide electoral win he got. A lot of them blame the party for not providing a better candidate, but IMO when people are willing to go barefoot on broken glass because they don't like the shoes available, we're kinda doomed.
