    The second part of your statement is the problem. We dont JUST need more Democrats. We need BETTER Democrats.

    Like I said, these 1/300th steps ARE THE COMPROMISE.

    The current trajectory, even with Democrats in charge, is certain death of Humanity due to Climate change. Republicans will just do it faster.

        I agree, but I fear with the language people are already using towards progressives about lackluster Biden support that they’ve taken their ball and went home.

        It seems like Neoliberals have decided that compromising with progressives is not on the table.

      Well do you want it to happen faster?

      You have to shift the Overton Window to democratic issues and then we’ll actually have a chance to vote in better ones

        The overton window has moved right every election since FDR, even under Democrats. Its the ratchet effect. If they dont go left when in power, then the right gets to define what is normal or not.
