Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

A year ago I would say US is cooked and there's no way to turn this shit around but this is actually looking promising. Obviously they still have tons of obstacles ahead of them and most of them are way harder that this but they did more than I expected already. Keep fighting!
It's actually wild to watch how quickly the mood has been shifting since 2024.
Now, everyone is talking about wealth disparity and all the issues that come with it. Progressive candidates are winning primaries left and right. Democrats are flipping seats at an unprecedented rate. Black voter turnout in the South has been surging since the gutting of the VRA.
In November of 2024 the Democratic party was in shambles. Now, thanks to progressive candidates and voters, they're actually forming an identity that isn't just "not Republican." They're running on issues that benefit the common people and they're winning.
Democratic party is still in shambles. There's a faction inside of it that's growing but they still have to win elections (which Trump will try to cancel or steal), win some power inside the party (which the leadership will do everything they can to prevent), win presidential primaries (with, again, entire establishment against them, this time at national level), win elections (against JD or Rubio which could actually be pretty easy) and push through reforms (like filibuster reform, pack Supreme Court and so on) fighting against both republicans and corporate dems. Once all this is done progressives will be able to actually start governing. Very hard but at least there's a path now. A year ago there was nothing.
its the schumer's/jefferies parties against the more "progressive ones" not against the gop, which they claim are fighting against but isnt actually doing anything to stop it, in fact is benefitting under trumps providing cover.
Everything up to the last step is doable by 2029.
The last step might come In the 2040's.
Even the democrats are disparaging the wave of DSA candidates in their party for being too communist. Of course you should probably check their accounts for AIPAC money. Either way it's still progress to see the apathy fade and push for things that benefit society as a whole instead of billionaires and warmongers
They're terrified that DSA candidates will win where centrists spent decades losing
also the fact that schumer ended the subsidies, even though they were covid era ones, for people on ACA plans, it made the dinos a bad look.
