Communist Party USA Endorses Democratic Party Control of Congress

The Communist Party USA wants the Republicans out:
Scores of bills that would benefit working people have been blocked by Republican majority control of Congressional committees. A Democratic Party majority does not guarantee these bills will pass, but it creates more favorable conditions of struggle and improves the possibilities that grassroots pressure can win their passage.

With a Democratic majority, 11 of 20 committees will be chaired by members of the Progressive or Black Caucus. 45 of 92 sub-committees will be chaired by members of the Progressive, Black, Hispanic or Asian Pacific Caucus. Many of these members of Congress come out of democratic struggles and movements.
How progressive.
