      The working class voters are, quite understandably, transactional & pragmatic. If the new progressive legislators start delivering the goods, they'll shift. I think establishment Dems are on thin ice.

      What is the argument here about pragmatism? Working class voters support establishment pols but will switch to progressives if they deliver things the working class electorate didn’t vote for?

      The establishment Dems are the ones who, by definition, are already in power & have a track record of serving community. Once progressive candidates are in office, they become the ones with the track record.

      Will be interested to see how those fault lines change now that progressive Democrats rebelled, ousted the IDC, and passed a lot of major policy in NY this year. Track record for young progressives off to a pretty decent start after years of establishment stalemate

      This is a very good question. Also question is whether the establishment Dems will simply shift toward some version of new policies coming out of Albany.

      Yeah, I think that's the only likely outcome actual, and fairly normal politics of bringing upstarts into the tent. Cuomo's progressive turn is a harbinger.

          The fact that establishment pols have committed gavels—and hence get to put their stamp on the legislation the insurgents campaigned on, fought for, and got passed, allows them a good chance to coopt

          It was amazing to watch him thrash around about drivers licenses for undocumented immigrants, his agony was obvious. If the Queens machine loses again, progressives may become the establishment (which has its own risks!)
