DC buildouts are local and state issues. Why does anyone think the federal Congress will do anything? They been making noise about this?
TIL stock market investors have more faith in the Democrats to accomplish anything than most Democrats do.
I think you’re overlooking that the democrats voted in this last election are the most progressive candidates that are actively attacking other democratic members for failing to accomplish their only job of protecting their constituency.
go look at imgur, which is frankly more blue than lemmy, and even on that platform every other post on the front page is “fuck chuckles” or “fuck jefferies”. along with a long diatribes of “burn AIPAC down with Israel”.
it’s cathartic.
Some of them are progressive, the ones we’ve all heard about like Talerico and Al Sayad. The entrenched DC political machine has a way of forcing conformity for both Dems and the GOP.
it’s clearly damaged and obviously not doing shit for existing dems.
I’ve had my heart broken before, so I might be more pessimistic than I should be.
completely there with you, though this time feels different than others.
mostly it’s a combination of all the movements from both the current administration all the way to how the stock market has taken a tumble or two since.
normally you’d get one, not both. also current establishment dems in office won’t stfu about what “they’re” going to do. by doing so they believe they’re setting the narrative and maintaining control.
got bad news for em. progressives give zero fucks about optics and only care about results, which is exactly what is needed right now.
Here comes the media, trying to frame a stock decline that began five weeks ago as caused by a “Democratic election win” that only happened a week ago.
anything that hurts the chip cartel is a net positive for society
Tech/stock bros gonna cry about it?
