And the tone appears to be set at the top. Biden’s chief of staff, Ron Klain, progressives say, has been instrumental in outreach to the left wing of the party both before and after the inauguration. Brian Fallon, the executive director of Demand Justice, an organization focused on reforming the courts, said Klain has a respect for advocacy organizations other “insiders” don’t share.

“A lot of people that are creatures of Washington scorn activists and movement people,” said Fallon, who was himself once considered a creature of Washington before becoming a movement person.

Before starting Demand Justice, Fallon would have lunches with Klain about policy ideas and operational challenges. “He's been like a mentor figure to a lot of people that lead advocacy organizations,” Fallon said.

Pulling my hair out.

Also "progressives say" is some real weasel word bullshit.
