beyond the possibility of opportunism and tailism in our own ranks, as you've already addressed, I'm not sure we're doing ourselves favors by hewing too closely to the reformist branding. their M4A platform includes no NHS - though such has been the project of social democrats around the world a full century ago - their GND amounts, in an economic sense, to little more than an infrastructure and jobs program, with no transfer of power to the working class or democratic central planning, etc..

a "yes, and..." approach works better here: yes, M4A is a necessary first step but it only remedies one small aspect of the greater problem with private healthcare - privatized care means profiting on death and human misery; yes, the GND, especially paired with deep cuts to the military budget, is a good first step, but it's the bare minimum as climate change is intrinsically one of capitalism's externalities and the only way to truly head off the coming crisis is by transferring control of key industries to the democratic control of its workers and a return to true public ownership.

the public, by and large, already supports these policies. our focus should be on the faults of capitalism unveiled by the as-yet unsuccessful campaigns to reform its worst ills. in Gramscian terms, just because we haven't been overtly successful in the war of maneuver over the past few years doesn't mean we can't treat it like a victory in the war of position - after all, as you noted, our capacity has grown at least in part due to the organizing required to sustain these fights - and advance our demands to better reflect the new world of accelerating decay we find ourselves in.

(that is, with evictions up, food security down, and no support coming from the state for, at a minimum, months, in the midst of an explicitly abolitionist rebellion, perhaps we should adjust our immediate demands to speak directly to the crisis people find themselves in - I've got some ideas here and I'll share them in a separate post when I get a little time to breath, given the immediate situation on the ground that must be dealt with. there's a discussion I'd really like to have about the proletarianization of the petit-bourgeoisie and the weird potential for shared purposes we find ourselves with due to the stark and blatant nature of the crisis that disappearing class finds themselves in.)
