Arguably, sure. But we shouldn't entertain the idea that progressives just folded immediately with nothing to show for it. They got something, and within the range of what was possible it was at least decent.
They didn't fold here. They got something. What they got is modest, but they only have a modest amount of power.
It's a mistake to write off high-profile politicians who do unquestionably good stuff like make the case for M4A and destigmatize the term "socialism." Anything less than critical support is unjustifiable.

Dude, they're opportunists. I know it's a hard pill to swallow, but they will always fold to the ruling class.
