I’ll gladly vote for the person saying progressive things even if it’s only lip service when the alternative is someone who “reluctantly” sides with MAGA 100% of the time. Maybe eventually someone who actually believes those progressive things will get in. It’s a terrible system that should be burned down and rebuilt with 21st century ideas, but until that happens we work with what we have.

You elect enough people saying something eventually one of them is going to believe it. It’s how the republicans ended up where they are now.
