“Mass deportations aren’t just inhumane,” one congresswoman said. “Trump has a recipe for economic disaster. Farmers, workers, and consumers… all pay the price.”

They can’t vote for progressives if none are fielded by either party. That was the big draw of Trump: he’s evil, but he’s popular among his base, and he showed them he’ll break all the rules to get things done during his first presidency. People see change with Trump. Not good change, at least, anyone who doesn’t blindly support him views it as bad change.
But it’s change. The DNC handicapped their only true progressive in 2016 and 2020 to shove corporate, centrist candidates down our throat to maintain the status quo. After 8+ years of nothing fundamentally changing for the average person and the DNC just re-running the 2016 playbook… People stayed home. They didn’t see change in Harris’ campaign, they saw “four more years of getting fucked over, but not Trump.”
People can’t vote for a progressive that doesn’t exist. It has to come from the DNC first, and based on all of their excuses as to why it’s everyone but themselves who are wrong since the election… I don’t see it happening.
As much as I loathe to say it, Trump is highly effective which really attracts people. Unfortunately, the way he is effective is by doing all kinds of unconstitutional and otherwise illegal stuff and those charged with holding him accountable are just saying, “fuck it”, we’re getting what we want.
