I hear you on a lot of this. Im sick of the ancient democrats for a lot of reasons and I desperately wish more people would vote in the primaries to get them out of there. I used to live in CA and tried to vote feinstein out. Now I'm back in WI where I'm fighting a fight that's even closer to the "center." But I also think that the salacious headlines we see on social media about "democrat hypocrisy" aren't totally legit all the time. Personally, I think Biden was less pressed by fossil fuel corps and moreso the fact that a $0.50 increase in gas price means they lose the midterms in a bunch of moderate states. Definitely not allies but more like objects in the way that are moveable if you have the right leverage. And a bunch of people constantly telling them what to do is like the only leverage we have. (Another example was pelosi's take on congress trading stocks. The outcry did eventually shift her position, but her resistance was way more of a headline than the fact she begrudgingly shifted her position. *With the caveat that I bet the legislation will again be the weakest limits they can get away with.) So yeah anyway, my takeaway is just that holding onto hope and trying multiple tactics is all that keeps me sane. Thank you for this good chat by the way. Sorry it started on the wrong foot.
