@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social I've seen the term "red undertow" to describe the election results, and I think it's apt. Dems didn't get this victory because people love what established Dem leadership like Schumer have been doing, people want more, stronger opposition to Trump and his goons. It's time for new leadership that can tap into the base. I know the party isn't going to go full DSA anytime soon, but we need the Dems to be better aligned with their platform that is shown to be popular and excites people.
