    The libs could save us, if we could ever get enough in power.

    Of course the libs haven’t saved us, they haven’t had the numbers. It’s been neck and neck with the fascists for 20 years.

    Imagine what we could do if the Dems had a 20 year supermajority. Universal healthcare, UBI, free college, wealth tax, these are all things that standard-issue Dems would love to do if it were feasible. The reason centrist Dems take baby steps isn’t because that’s all they want, it’s because that’s all they can do. Give em the power and they’ll do more.

      As I’ve said, I will be voting Biden. I’m inclined to believe things will not change.

        Give Dems the power, and we’ll prove you wrong. You’ll love it.

        Don’t forget to vote downballot! And in non Presidential elections!
