The Progressive Caucus, at 82 members, is the largest of all of the caucuses in Congress.
The majority of the Democratic Party's voters, as well as the majority of Americans, when informed of the issues, agree with liberal policies and legislation.

For example, nobody likes the idea of abortion, but most Americans do not want the government involved if they find themselves in the predicament of an unwanted pregnancy. And if you frame it as, "You like to k!ll babies?!?! ?!?!", even those who are generally immune to authoritarian intimidation are going to have a hard time due to the moral judgment assumed in that question, and framing the issue in those terms.
