What I mean in the headline is that Democrats look doomed to remain the "herding cats" political party. Despite a lot of talk from some progressive organizations, few House or Senate Dems, so far, face serious primary challenges.
Getting back to the linked story above.
Progressive Democrats are part of the "herding cats" problem. Threats don't work unless you follow through by voting Green, voting Socialist, or not voting.
Harold Meyerson, in a similar vein, has a great column saying that progressives don't have "progressivism" -- there's no movement today. At least inside the cat-herders, he's right.
