Comment on Is there a chance America one day will elect a Progressive? Or will we keep going the elder dipshit route?

  They will be fucked for exactly 2 election cycles. 2026 and 2028. 2030 will be a red wave year. Calling it now.

  Voters have memories worse than goldfish. Dems will be a shoe for the white house in 28 but will be lucky to hold it in 32 unless something historically tragic in the scale 9-11 or COVID happens in 31.

    Liberals here just enable the fascists. I think OP was asking if we’d get something that isn’t just fascist enablement, if we’d ever have a situation where we broke out of this cycle you’re referring to with effective liberal policy instead of half-measures that just give the fascists an excuse to call liberals incompetent.

    (I don’t think so)

      It isn’t just that Democrats are winning seats. It is young progressive Democrats in many cases

    some people have speculated it would be better if people felt gop for more than 2 terms, maybe some of them will finally WAKE up. because the gop always expects the dems to fix things next term. schumers banking on the midterms winning in his favor thats why ended the shutdown early.

      We just need to end the filibuster.

      Americans need to feel the consequences of their votes and stop relying on gridlock to save them.
