  • Which Dems have you been waiting on to enact progressive policies? The House is controlled by MAGA republicans and the Senate is in a dead lock for the most part. How do you get any progressive policies through there? The Supreme Court is controlled by conservatives that will deny anything moderately progressive.

    Real change starts with local and state elections and electing Dems there. If you want that change, then try to help Dems in Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, etc. Otherwise, just electing a Dem president is not going to suddenly make for progressive policies. It will slow down the MAGA bunch, but it won’t completely stop them until there is real change at the local and state levels.










  • I’m a Reddit refugee, been trying Beehaw and Kbin. Kudos to whatever was done to improve the speed here, it is lightning fast today! Kbin, not so much - the owner there had to implement DDOS protection and it is largely unusable at the moment. All of this is a work in progress and is rather exciting! I am going to switch over to Lemmy in full from Reddit, and I think this will end up being just fine.
