If the libs get a 4-3 majority on the supreme court, we could go the way of Michigan in just a few years (claw our way out of several circles of hell). Wisconsin could go back to having basic liberal democracy and potentially flip the federal Congress.
And we could likely get rid of right to work laws here.
Right now the state is about 52% blue, but Republicans have nearly double the representation in the legislature, and triple the federal representation. Absolutely wild.
:i-voted:
EDIT: Good job you two the chuds ate shit tonight, it's called for Protasiewicz by a country mile
As always vote in locals. They directly affect things for the better and help create better situations to radicalize.
Michigans DSA has seen a massive increase in donors and members since they flipped the state house and did actual improvements. People are seeing the real change that can happen when politicians are held accountable.
Was Michigan DSA actually responsible for flipping the state house and those improvements or am I reading you wrong?
They have filled a lot of thd gap that the DNC left open when they abandoned state level support. They did a lot of thd organizing efforts that got people registered, pushed for specific issues (like ending right to work), and creating a gross roots network that helped flip a state that many myself included thought was red forever now.
So are they a significant part of the DNC machine in Michigan and they made Michigan democrats more radical? How much direct control over those candidates do they have if any?
They’ve worked in successfully pushing the entire Michigan Democratic Party left of the national party by a chunk and have a large say in the metro Detroit political machine right now.
