    Yep, this needs to happen. With the establishment today saying “we weren’t elected to hold them accountable, but to fix the economy” (which the economy almost only ever means stock values to them, not how the average person is doing), they need to be pushed to actually do something. This clearly didn’t happen in order for them to preserve the status quo, and they know that. Hopefully it’s the dying breath of the corporate-owned Democrats.

      A much larger fraction of the newly elected are those who came to bring a fight, so the USians chances are much better this time if they persist

        And this is why it’s difficult for me to get excited about voting for these motherfuckers. The election is over, can I say it now? I voted, I did my shit. We did the thing and elected them, and they’re already talking about caving and compromising with fascists.

        At a certain point, if you’re still really into compromising with republicans, it becomes difficult to say you’re that much better than they are.
