Tomorrow progressives will say “Look at all the power we have & all the wonderful things we can do for people now!” Then corporatist Dems will whine “Yeah but we didn’t get a mandate & there’s another election in 2 years so we better be really careful & go slow.” Do not let them!

The only mandate I'm interested in right now is a wealth cap and salary cap too. Nobody needs 2000 lifetimes of excessive wealth.

But be careful Dems, focus more on improving people’s lives and focus less on divisive cultural issues. That is, have less wokeness. Let’s not create fertile ground for another Donald Trump to emerge.

By “slow”, I’m thinking more banking deregulation, austerity, resource extraction, and regime change sanctions/wars...

I'm here for it. I hope the left and the activist can keep this energy going forward. I despise seeing the left tear itself apart over singular issues. We really need to consolidate fight now more than ever. No excuses. No honeymoon.
