In my blue state district, Democrats voted for the genocidal incumbent who receives big money from AIPAC and that voted to fund ICE. It's amazing how the media can shift everyone's attention to a very small handful of elections, and then also use those elections to make people think progressives are winning big while also labeling them all DSA. You have much to learn my friend about the games being played and that will be played.
I live in a so-called "progressive" blue state. Multiple red states have better privacy laws similar to California's CCPA, more consumer protections, etc. Anyone can call themselves a progressive and that word in itself means almost nothing... heck, they give countless handouts here to Amazon and Microsoft, and a large number of people that claim to be progressives work for those same companies while living in gentrified neighborhoods where they make being homeless essentially illegal now.
It's not going to change overnight. The movement is still picking up momentum.
Also many are self labeling as DSA, because dem brand is trashed
The ol' Facebook to Meta tactic.
