    Socialism isn’t going to be implemented in a single election. It’s a goal that will take years to achieve.

    But progressives destroying republicans is the first step towards it.

      Yea, Fetterman called himself a progressive, too. We’ll have to see which ones aren’t just grifting the trend.

      Note that I am not being defeatist. I’m saying we need to watch them like a hawk, let them know when they’re fucking up, and not vote Republican or fail to show up to vote if they turn out to be Fetterman style shitheels.

        That’s a fair stance. My problem is people assuming it’ll be more of the same despite the DSA winning several seats.

        We need fucking recall votes back.

          I mean, it likely will be more of the same unless we get a real progressive president in 2028 or a supermajority in Congress. A non-supermajority in Congress isn’t exactly much power in this government, and Dems already have lots of practice kowtowing progressives.

          It’s great to see the blue wave, but this fight is far from over. Definitely agreed on the recall votes.

            The most important bit is that they can block trumps SC nominees, and that Fettermen doesn’t have the same ability to be a traitor.

            You’re not talking about something in addition to hope, you’re just ignoring what a huge win this has all been, and instead actively trashing hope

                    Lmao yeah I’m saying that this blue wave is something to be hopeful about and a great thing for our country because I’m a conservative 😂 stupidest troll attempt I’ve seen in a minute.

                    Blocking you would be useless because you’d still be spewing this shit to others, and it’s always good to point out how wrong you are and how you’re just a sad troll so that others can see you fail and be ridiculed

                Yes I believe what they said was “your derision of any semblance of hope is something I both admire and want a lot more of. It’s frankly amazing and I love it”
