I think you’re wrong. Progress comes in fits and starts. ACA isn’t the end game but it was a major advancement. The things that seemed too progressive to pass muster 8 years ago are platform policy now. UBI seemed like a far off idea until Yang and the pandemic brought it in full light. So many things will and have been advanced by decades because Of the pandemic. If you want to advance change the best thing to bring it about is a catastrophe. We are in one. I also hope your apathy isn’t shared by too many on the left. We need to mobilize, donate money and time and get that unlikely blue wave, to become a reality. I think it’s possible to take all three; house, senate and whitehouse.
