She banned conversion therapy in Michigan: michigan.gov/…/whitmer-signs-legislation-to-prote…
She repealed abortion restrictions: web.archive.org/web/…/71657347007/
She may not be the progressive voice we need, but it’s disingenuous to pretend she’s done nothing for regular people.

Agreed. But the question wasn’t, “What’s the bare minimum a politician should do,” it was, “What has she done that’s progressive?” I listed two examples that I’m familiar with, though I would expect there’s more.
I’m not saying she’s some progressive paragon, but she can have enacted both progressive policies and regressive pro-corporate ones. Generally speaking, people aren’t stereotypes, and anyone who’s presenting that case should immediately raise red flags that they’re either not engaged with what politicians are actually doing or they’ve got an agenda (see other politicians and pundits).
There’s plenty of room to despise establishment Democrats without lying or oversimplifying them down to a single quote.
