Recent victories in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire special elections suggest Democrats can score huge wins in the fight to control state legislatures. That changes everything.
Joe Manchin is a “democrat.” So are plenty of other Blue Dog motherfuckers.
Congrats, you cited literally the worst example of a Democrat 🙄 The one that we run in West Virginia because he’s the only chance we have of getting anyone that will even remotely ever agree with Democrats in that state.
There’s been plenty of real meaningful progress executed by Democrats. Including the infrastructure bill (which when combined with the inflation reduction act is some of the most profound legislation in the climate change fight ever passed in any country), efforts to correct the gerrymandering problem, changes to allow negotiation by medicare on drug prices, expansion of rural broadband, increased protection for made in America labels, reversal of various nutjob Trump era policies like banning transgender folks from being in the military, etc.

Thank you for some sanity. Dems are far from perfect but they’ve done a lot of good and can continue to if we can get more in office.
