    I'm optimistic. I think the democrats are going to win. With their unprecedented power, a true mandate to make progressive changes without republican support, they will either do so, or not. Remember Bidens platform does include a Healthcare public option, a green jobs program, raising minimum wage, etc. It's not obvious that they will fail. But if they do win, but still fail to deliver, they will suffer losses in the primaries the likes of which have never been seen. 2022 and 2024 primaries will be our October revolution.

    Tl;Dr I think we are about to finally break the cycle of the two parties sharing power and giving each other excuses for bad governing.
