I'm just happy that we have more DSA members and progressives in congress. They're still a smallish group, but I'm hoping that there may be enough of them to push truly progressive policy.

It also looks like Alaska kept its ranked-choice voting in a ballot initiative. I'm really hoping that we start to see that spread. There were also several independent candidates that did really well, which might be a sign that people are more willing to listen to 3rd parties. Fucking Chuck Schumer is already vaccilating about universal healthcare, and I'd really like for him to go get a nice swirly and then shut the fuck up.

From how much anger and vitriol liberals give all throughout the time I have been told there's no point in time to criticize. A lot of shut up and take it lefty bullshit.

Yup. Maybe give it a day after election ends, though. If nothing else, for the post-celebration hangovers to wear off :P (and for the Dems to do something wrong and/or fail to do something right with the positions they have been entrusted with)

EDIT: Apparently, it's like the presidential and their proper term doesn't actually begin until January. Although, one could still judge them on their rhetoric, I guess...

Oh hey, big holding corps are buying up methadone clinics.

It’s a good time to critique the body of work of the current Congress.

For the new electorates it seems fair to wait until…they’ve actually taken office?

If it weren't for the "blue maga" mention, I can take this comment seriously and agree with it 98%. Given that every cultlike Democrat that has ever existed wouldn't outnumber the maga ones who currently live in a single county in Florida, this is a disingenuous term that destroys the credibility of anyone using it.
