Sure, any progressive people end up in the dem party, but the amount of influence they have appears to be minimal. End result is that we see a ratcheting effect where the repubs ram through really unpopular policies, while dems prevent any progress to the left.

The only way out of this is to build worker power through on the ground organization, unionization, and then political participation in form of strikes and protests. That's how workers won their rights in the 1930s where mass worker unrest forced the government to pass the New Deal.
