It's okay, tankies love fascism, so they're not put out by the result (lemmy.world)

Presidentially: yeah.

Congressionally and locally: not nearly as much. There's a pretty solid track record especially since the Citizens United and SpeechNow decisions of the Democratic Party either mobilizing against progressives and for conservatives in primaries where there isn't even a GOP threat.

They even took down Katie Porter because she didn't kiss the ring of Dianne Feinstein.

But yeah, the acute threat the GOP poses gives them harm reduction status.

President and Congress. Probably locally too but federally is what I'm focusing on.

And this isn't strictly harm reduction. Like I said, want it to move left? That will happen with overwhelming and consistent wins.
