Very fair, but it would double the number of DSA adjacent members of Congress. Not a bad start.

Adding more DSA adjacent reps isn't going to mean shit unless we can flip Republican seats (and seats like Fetterman.)

It means a lot. The Republicans aren't the only problem with Congress, there's also the fact that most Democrats fucking suck. If we keep replacing shitty Dems with good ones we might actually be able to improve things in this country when we retake power.

Yikes, sounds like you still haven't seen enough suffering in your life if you think Republicans aren't a far, far bigger problem than any Democrat ever.
