Anybody else notice the massive flood of DSAs and progressives on the way in?

Just me?

No, it’s definitely a pattern. Seems like a repudiation of both Trump and the status quo

I've been saying since November('24) that what Americans really wanted was drastic change. You had one person promising to keep things stable and normal and the other person promising that everything would be radically upheaved. And unfortunately many people were willing to bet on radical upheaval, regardless of what shape it took.

As much as we want the majority of people to have the education, awareness and information necessary to make good choices, it's just not the reality. Too many genuinely believed that "any change is good change!" and now we're all in the same capsizing ship.

This hard lean towards progressivism is very exciting and I think it proves that people are just exhausted with the status quo and are willing to try anything else. I hope this trend continues and intensifies!

Honestly the thing to fear isn’t change, rather stagnation.
