I’ll take it. This means that the progressive side of the party is starting to cause enough ripples to sway even the most pro-corporate side. It could mean that the corporate Dems are willing to listen more to their voters rather than the corporate donors as well.
Oh it definitely is, mostly because they will finally have to be responsible adults and help their communities. The establishment Dems have close to no choice now but to enact the changes in their states.
They’re all getting close to losing their seats one way or another. Young people are getting fed up with the empty promises, especially when they don’t have the same opportunities as their parents. Either they help pass progressive programs or they are going to be primaried. If we’re struggling to vote out incumbents, then we can try to get an alternative voting system passed in our respective blue states to safely vote them out.
I mean progressive change is possible at the state level. With the hope of passing progressive change Federally getting pushed back, the focus can be solely on getting those progressive programs passed at the state level. Blue states can even go into debt to fund these programs. If other states see how successful those programs are then people may want to replicate them in their own states.
Imo part of the reason Democrats have struggled so much is because there has been no delivery of the product they are pushing for. People have been checking out since it’s just more of the same crap. Which was great for the corporate Dems/Republicans who were making bank this whole time, but not the rest of us.
The pendulum is not swinging back if young people don’t have hope. Right now, hope among young people is the lowest that it has been. If they have real progressive programs that help them have a roof over their heads, food on the table, and the ability to plan for their future then I’m sure we will see the pendulum swing back.
Ffs man, the prices are out of control for concerts. Live Nation needs to have their monopoly broken up.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they do, more people might call them out if they over promise and don’t deliver when they have the votes to though.
If tariffs keep hitting people for another 3+ years, I feel that people are going to start demanding progressive legislation. These rich corporate types can skirt by when the average person is not actively in debt, but when people aren’t able to afford to own a home, start a family, retire, or even just buy a car then shit is hitting the fan.
