Should progressives focus their efforts on pushing for one major proposal at a time?

I am starting to think that the progressive need to completely change their entire strategy or they will be become a lost cause. They can't really get a damn thing done, gravely undermined the Democrats politically for several years, and pushing for so many policies that may never get passed during any of their lifetimes.

So, I am thinking that they should focus campaigning on getting one major proposal enacted at a time. For instance why don't they just focus on the movement for getting a constitutional amendment enacted that would ban all private money and corporate lobbying from politics?

Progressives and liberals (and non-MAGA cult conservatives for that matter) need to be focused on keeping democracy from collapsing in the United States. Everything else comes secondary to that.

Of course to do that, they need to have an articulable vision for the country that gets people out to the Polls, and that cannot be only a negation of the dangerous lunacy of Trump and his Cult.

Focusing on a few things that have a direct and easily understandable impact on people's day to day lives is the way to go here, and this should be focused in on like a laser beam.

The catch 22 however is that to actually pass things that will help people in their day to day lives, such as proposals to cap the price of insulin at $35 or extending the child tax credit, they need more than a razor thin majority in Congress that can be derailed by one or two Senators defecting.

But how can we ever get more liberals elected if the progressives keep turning off the great majority of the electorate?
