The nature of progressive power in 2021 is odd and interesting. 1. They exercise a veto over moderate legislation 2. They can defeat moderates in safe Democratic districts 3. They dominate NGO world, political organizing, and large news organizationshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/10/03/progressives-finally-have-power-washington/ …

There is legislation, and the progressive caucus has made their demands clear. Moderates know exactly what they need to do to get a vote on infrastructure. This is not complicated. This is how the political process is supposed to work.

There is no coherent argument that the progressive caucus is doing anything out of line. For the first time, they have enough power to force concessions instead of just rolling over. Be mad if you want, but don’t resort to working the refs. This is entirely within the rules.
