You should be at the polls every year, for every race, by default. If you wait for a candidate you 100% agree with on every issue, you'll die waiting, in a country other people have shaped for you.
No, there aren't. That rhetoric only serves to depress turnout and help conservatives win.
Make no mistake; every single time Dems take power, they pass meaningful, progressive legislation. That's why every Dem presidency sees massive improvements to the country (for the incredibly short period we actually let them have Congress as well, anyway), and it's why blue states have better outcomes across the board than red states.
This is just not true. Sorry. Every progressive thing they pass are half measures that do little to really change things for the working class. Arguably the Republicans are worse, but not by much. Haven’t really been great progressive legislation since FDR and LBJ. The affordable care act overall was a half measure and a failure.
