That's just rhetoric. It doesn't reflect reality. It's full of half-measures (at best) and poison pills and only serves as a deceptive talking point for fundraising and campaign ads.
No serious leftist thinks it's anything but a sick joke, just like the infrastructure bill.
Congress, as usual, started out with a package that had a few decent things in it but, as usual, they split the bill into the good stuff and the stupid performative shit then passed the latter while letting the former wilt on the vine.
There are no leftists in the democrat party.
There are only con artists and liars who appropriate leftist language and trappings to sell their voters horrible policies and legislation by pretending they're "progressive". That way the voters can feel smug and happy about supporting horrible policies and legislation while telling themselves they're the "good guys" but they're really only useful idiots brainwashed by a wholly corrupt party that hates them for being inconvenient peasants.
