That was my hope after bush 2, then again after first trump term. Then the country provided republicons every lever of power as a reward. I’m not holding my breath of anything swinging anywhere.
Problem is the pendulum did swing back but it swung to the “left” aka to neolibs. Now it’s been broken and swung so far to the right that I hope it responds in kind next time around and we get actual progressives in office.

Run For Something is doing all they can to get real progressives in so thats a start
I think there’s an increasing likelihood that the pendulum just breaks and falls to the ground rather than swinging any kind of way.
