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.

    I'm happy you're happy, this seems like a perfectly reasonable and well-rounded take. It was fucked up they were trying to get rid of ranked choice again, it's such a clear method of weakening "the establishment" whoever you think that is and the only way third parties will ever get a chance to be heard. "Fuck Chuck" is short, punchy, and rhymes, surprised it's not a bumper sticker :p
