(421 posts)85. In short
If you can produce an equally, fervent extremist radical left party as consequential in lifting us out of the historic damage to our very democracy these past ten years, Im not seeing it. Ill wait. My rosey-tinted glasses must be smudged.
Would I be more be prone to optimism if more gloves were removed from more courageous politicians within the DP with the same pompous conviction we see displayed by the RP ? Hell, show me their hands, Ill pull.
We seem to see the plummet into fascism and tyranny before us in a completely different light irrespective of wanting our Democratic Party to be victorious. I take dwindling pleasure in our small victories when clearly the apparatus of both parties is designed to subjugate progressives. 😁

Democrats are a diverse coalition party and progressives are an important part of that coalition but are not the base

Yes, and the impact of AI will be devastating in an Oligarchy that doesn't care if the masses suffer.
