"A lot more" is pure copium lmao. There are a handful, and their races have been fun to watch! I'm personally very excited for the results of El-Sayed's Michigan race. There are still plenty of corporate Dems running this year though, hoping that because the Republicans have been so blatant in their corruption, people will vote for anyone else. Iowa's Turek, for example, is a corporatist piece of shit who will gladly work with Republicans to kill trans people. If you live in Michigan, you absolutely should vote for El-Sayed. If you live in Iowa, you absolutely should not vote for Turek.
Anyway you've already called me a foreign actor so w/e, don't listen to sane and rational talking points because they deconstruct the simple view of American "democracy" you have.
Mate, it's easy to look up how much the parties received by donations from billionaires in this election. Honestly, I thought Lemmy of all people would know this. It's even all over social media how much Elon Musk alone spent in this election than George Soros did in his lifetime.
You weren't initially clear about what you're comment is about. The cynicism of your first post did not distinguish this time that there is now more progressive Dems that ran and won than corporate Dems that remain. That should be a cause for optimism than scepticism.
