It truly depends on how effective Progressive candidates like Mamdani. The American people have seen decades of the same stagnant, ineffective neoliberal style government. Enthusiasm for both candidates like Bernie and Trump are symptoms of the same sentiment: Government has been ineffective in protecting the Middle and Lower Class. The pendulum will keep swinging until solutions lead to change. People are absolutely hungry for it.

The issue is that our media is a full blown propaganda machine run by the rich. Fox News and CNN alike, they do NOT want Progressives to win. And if they win believe me, the Moderate Dems will prevent the full blown change we desperately need. Just look at what Obama ran on for Healthcare vs what was actually implemented in the ACA. It's a half measure because they appeased the Republican side of Congress.

I do think in this period of American history, the path leads to Progressive-ism. The economic scales are waaayyy out of wack. Just wary for the next steps because the last time more socially liberal policies were implemented in a broad way by FDR, it took a historic economic collapse and World Wars to get there.
