I’m just hoping that the collapse of the GOP ushers some leftward movement for once
The political pendulum always swings back and forth. We are way overdue for a big swing to the left.
That's not usually how it works. Democrats serve Wall Street and Silicon Valley first, but make concessions to Main Street as necessary to keep Republicans from taking over. The less of a threat Republicans are, the less incentive establishment Democrats have to put the needs of voters ahead of their sponsors.
Then how come Biden raised corporate taxes? How come every Dem voted against Trump's gigantic tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy? Following the money cuts thru all the vague claims and bullshit and provides clarity.
That is the exact opposite of how politics work. The one and only thing that will result is a big shift to the left is for Dems to win over and over and over.
I’m 100% with you. I just have (delusional) hopes of a sea change, and that is never historically a safe bet
