    I’ll take it. This means that the progressive side of the party is starting to cause enough ripples to sway even the most pro-corporate side. It could mean that the corporate Dems are willing to listen more to their voters rather than the corporate donors as well.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if they do, more people might call them out if they over promise and don’t deliver when they have the votes to though.

        If tariffs keep hitting people for another 3+ years, I feel that people are going to start demanding progressive legislation. These rich corporate types can skirt by when the average person is not actively in debt, but when people aren’t able to afford to own a home, start a family, retire, or even just buy a car then shit is hitting the fan.

          Agreed. I don’t think such strategy would work long-term in these material conditions. But corporats gotta try doing the cheapest possible solution. 😄

    Cool.

    But too little too late, honestly. I don’t really get any confidence by the actions of Jeffries any more. He just kinda exists.
