Hey, we do have more progressives in office than ever before, in spite of the money fighting it. THAT is the win.
The rest will likely be disappointing. The question is, are we going to sit around wishing for some white knight establishment dem to ride to the rescue or are we going to push back, more.

Yep. They’re (intentionally) mistaking celebrating our small victory for a conclusion of hostilities. We know it’s not over and it’s not gonna BE over until the people are once more in control of their own government.
Which is why I think they’ll give us Schumer (again, its that defined 7 on a pair of 6 sided dice).
I encourage you and anyone else working class to read up on revolutions. The fellow who did the series Andor has. Tony Gillroy. Match it with historians. People who run governments do study it. They vent the people. Sometimes talking sideways is enough. Sometimes you have to throw a bone to release some of the pressure built up behind the hunger. Good odds Schumer will be the bone.
The difference is we do have a few more players. Not just Sanders and AOC. Even so, odds there are not in our favor.
I think after venting us they’re going to point to 2025 and use that fear come 2028 vs doing things to improve our lives.
One small example. Remember, NIOSH was gutted. These are our filters for all of construction and trades and all of healthcare, including prehospital, including firemen.
Every person in those professions is in danger because their safety gear regulators have been gutted. Even some random school teacher who likes to woodwork. Filters against that fine dust inhalation? Well. Maybe they’ll be ok? Whose to say? Lead remediation on your old house? Asbestos? Maybe. Sure. They surely wouldn’t roll back quality just because it’s not being regulated. Would they? /s
Bits like that crap deal could all be packed into a bill. A big beautiful bill, one that should already be written and ready to go. But is it?
They’ll vent us, they’ll have to. Just enough to prevent rioting. And then I think they’ll try to ease back into the usual. Just don’t be fooled by the venting. See it for what it is.
I hadn’t heard the concept venting before and it’s a useful one for sure.
The only way to drive real change is to get mad and stay mad until the change you want to see is there. Knowing you’re being vented and expecting it is crucial in this, thanks for pointing this out.
The diivided, scattered info sources that place all of us on a slightly different page when it comes to information also helps prevent focused anger. There may be individual focus, but crowd focus is gone.

When could they find the time over the last two years of doing nothing? Also, who would write it? They’re law makers. Law writing is something done by corporations.
President Roosevelt recognized that the long-range interests of his coalition and the Democratic Party were best served by encouraging radical groups, whether inside or outside the party, to feel as though they were part of his political entourage.
This is why I laugh at calls for unity over progress. The thing we’re being asked to have unity with wants us to stop fighting and let the status quo win.
Leave it to corpo media to pretend we all thought the midterms were a magic button that would fix everything overnight.

The new people who were elected mostly don’t even start until January! There’s still time for the people on their way out to fuck things up.

You got that right. Status quo being the Business Plotters.
