I was gonna title this “And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price you have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice” and then write “Stuck inside of America with the fascism blues again” here, but I’m not sure if that comes off like gloating and that’s honestly the last thing I want to do this morning.

    It absolutely would have. Progressive policy is insanely popular and easy to campaign on by virtue of being designed to help everyone.

    Hence all the down-ballot leftists taking office. Oh wait.

    Are you seriously suggesting that American politicians are not craven enough? As if there’s some wealth of easy wins they’re just leaving on the table?

      This is just the first result in google, you’ll find similar data except in polls that really torture the question’s wording to get a specific answer.

      American politicians are not craven enough?

      What do you mean craven? Democrat politicians aren’t afraid of the base, they hate the base and stand up to us all the time, most visibly gaza. It’s republican politicians that fear their base.
