Probably. Establishment dems like Schumer and Jeffries don’t work for us, they work for their investors.
So you expected the new people that aren't sworn in yet to suddenly fix everything?
No, but a day 1 game plan that spells working class relief would’ve been hopeful. The fuckers had 2 years to write up their own version of P25. What do we have? Nothing. Except a promise of no justice.
Yes, because hope is naive, and humanity is disappointment crystallized.
Leave it to corpo media to pretend we all thought the midterms were a magic button that would fix everything overnight.
Hey, we do have more progressives in office than ever before, in spite of the money fighting it. THAT is the win.
The rest will likely be disappointing. The question is, are we going to sit around wishing for some white knight establishment dem to ride to the rescue or are we going to push back, more.

Yep. They're (intentionally) mistaking celebrating our small victory for a conclusion of hostilities. We know it's not over and it's not gonna BE over until the people are once more in control of their own government.
Yes, because we have 2 political parties and they both suck (one more than the other). Neither represent the people (as is their job). They represent the billionars. The ship is going down and there are no life boats for us. Enjoy what is left.
I think if they had real intent, the DNC side of it, not the progressive side of it (who we know already are with We The People), there would have been a short version of P25. They’ve had 2 years to draft something and that’s way more time than anyone needs. Where’s the Build Back Better 2027 (or whatever politics happy phrasing you prefer)?
It’s missing. Which spells out what they intend. The standard platter of nada.
Here’s hoping our progressives are scrappy.
So what you are suggesting to combat the problem is "nothing". Thanks.
