Next up, we're headed to Queens, home of one of the most progressive districts in the country.

And we're going to go to the streets to ask people directly, what do you actually want from progressives?

So after talking to Congressman Kesar, I decided to come to Astoria, one of the biggest neighborhoods in Queens and part of New York's seventh congressional district, which is statistically one of the most progressive areas in the country.

It's actually so progressive, in fact, it got nicknamed the commie corridor.

So we're going to talk to some voters here and see what progressive means to them.

Let's go.

When you think of the word progressive, what does that mean to you?

More modern.

New ideas.

New ideas, yeah.

Do you have any issue that comes up as the top of the list?

If someone said, I'm a progressive, is there something you expect of them?

Equality and affordability would be top of the list.

We talked to the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the progressive group in Congress, and they have a new 10-point plan about affordability, about how to make people's lives more affordable.

I want to show you it and get your reaction.

So these are the different planks that they are trying to focus on.

And I guess for you, I would love to know what you find the most important out of that list.

And is there something on that list you wish was there?

I mean, that's why I think a lot of people's question is like, is that even viable?

So you live in the 7th district?
