19. The base did show up in spite of the claims of "progressives"
It was the independents that did not vote for her.

As for your 4 demands, the Republicans can now filibuster it all.

I don't know if Medicare can be expanded by reconciliation or not. But whatever, it's not going to be good enough for the progressives.

There is not way to "rally a base" that gives up after one year because they don't have everything they want.
