    Despite firebrand progressives winning Senate seats by healthy margins in states like Michigan and Minnesota, an adviser for the centrist think tank Third Way told the Financial Times that the “majority-makers were mainstream and centre-left Democrats.” The empirical argument here is that moderate candidates were both more numerous and overperformed their progressive counterparts who also won.

    There it is, like clockwork: “the progressives didn’t win by enough, it’s not a winning strategy”
