    Well, not the DOGE part. But yeah, I think that a dem sweep in the midterms is possible. And that a Democrat could win, assuming there is an election. The people who staff the polling places are community members, and you can still run for local office if you want to, and try to make your way up.

      Oh, so you just think Dems will get into power, play neo-libs for 4 years and hand back the torch?

      Right, mmmhm…

        Even if a Bernie-like candidate wins presidency, no progressive policy will be passed.

        Unless you somehow find a progressive in 218 congressional districts to win elections, and people to stand election in at least at least 25 states (for their 50 senate seats).

        Yea its fucked.

          And you’ve seen a foreign born oligarch tear apart the federal government by his own grubby hands?
