It is a mistake to believe that what is happening in the US is an exception exclusively to Trump's America 🇺🇸.
The same interests and agents there are already present all over the western world.

A bright side of this is progressives did well in House races which is more evidence that we SHOULD move left for electability. For example AOC outran Harris significantly in her district which had the second biggest swing towards Trump in the country.
We can do this. We have to restructure our party with politicians who understand how the 21st century works and not the dark ages.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.
