    Almost entirely signal boosted as proof of a carrot that both will most likely never arrive, and most likely won’t change anything even if it did arrive. There’s a large difference between individuals pushing for something and them actually managing to get them passed at a scale that matters.

      okay but it’s been passed in plenty of your states and that hasn’t been without democrat party support

      you don’t just change the system overnight - change like that can take a lifetime, and it starts with signalling to move the overton window

        Very few states, actually, and it passed in Alaska in a Republican state. Overall, it has weak momentum.

        How do you signal to “move the overton window?” Prayer?
