Creating progressives voters
We know congressman like Manch8n and Sinema need to be primaries out. But how do you do this when a States population is moderate and a progressive would have a landslide defeat in the general election?
To do this we need a significant increase in progressive voters in those states, in the millions. Exactly how do we do this?

Incredibly diverse as we are, our progressive liberal ideology and goals unite the vast majority of us. It helps that liberals created democracy and can work well with others. 
Exceptions in congress are a couple dozen conservative Dems, including Manchin, and it's looking like possibly Sinema. Currently 2 of those are hamstringing 250 liberals by eliminating a few big provisions.
We also have some farther left members who feel they are (and are) significantly different from our @250 liberal progressives; they call themselves "Progressives," as in the only true, and not to be mistaken for all the 100 progressives in the Progressive Caucus. A very few of those are threatening to kill not just parts but the entirety of the historic bills.
What we need is just to elect some more progressives who will unite to pass progressive legislation.
* CHECK THEIR HISTORY; avoid people who don't have one (let them prove themselves in state offices).
* Avoid electing conservatives in con districts: nominate someone moderate enough for some to like.
* Avoid those who say they'll "reform," not unite with, Democrats.
* Avoid like the plague candidates who lie about Democrats (pretty much same as above). VERY bad sign.
* More, never EVER vote for candidates who seek to deceive about anything to get elected. BAAAD sign.
This is for those who are serious about getting progressive advances passed through congress. We have a whole lot of good people who are a lot more frustrated than anyone here by having their work blocked by a handful of conservatives on one side and potentially intransigent ideologues on the other.
