    Well, looking beyond one local election might help. Sure, your district may not have gone the way you want, but another may have gone further.

    If all you care about is what matters directly to you, then you’re in for a bad time.

      Well, looking beyond one local election might help.

      You don’t quite understand what I am referencing if you think when I talk of recuperation that I am just referencing one election. Black Lives Matter is the biggest lightning rod that was very obviously recuperated in order to diminish it’s radical politics, MLK was literally assassinated when his politics got too radical and threatening of the status quo and then his legacy was recuperated, even the New Deal was recuperation of the strongest labor movement because of it’s deep socialist roots.

      These are long standing ongoing problems with our political system and those that maintain it’s power.
