The entire American political system is designed to be as divorced and decoupled from the actual opinions of the people that might participate in it as possible. It’s very unfair to expect good things to come out of it, and we among the left should know that best of all. We don’t even have a large enough body of representatives for the population, there’s a counter democratic institution called the Senate that’s there just to make it more oligarchical, it’s just a hallway of shit and mirrors.

Hope for the best as always but expect, please expect, the worst
