Progressives Reflect on the Concept of ‘Woke 2’ Amid Political Turmoil

Following Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential victory, conservatives celebrated what they saw as the definitive end of ‘woke’ culture, a term originally rooted in awareness of social injustices.

The so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" designed to take place after the election.

Unless we elect progressives — Democrat does not always mean progressive — You're going to need to pay attention to who you're voting for.

But unless we vote progressive, no one will undo that "Big Beautiful Bill". Instead, they will accept it, allow it, and tell you that you should be mad at the Conservative Republicans who put that in place.

That is the "gotcha" — That right there is why so many people feel like both parties are the same. Because at the end of the day, we still end up someplace we don't want to go. Conservative Democrats don't roll back the damage, but rather holdover what Conservative Republicans did so that you accept this is the new normal. Comparable to how once prices at a store go up, they never really truly return to how they once were.

You want real change and real accountability? Vote progressive.

#NDP elect a new leader and the party wastes no time in trying to tear itself apart. #Nenshi statement within seconds of the win bodes poorly for party unity. #Progressives really know how to fight each other. #cdnpoli #MoreInCommon #xp

I said it before, and I'll say it again: Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈 is 2 months and 4 days away. And I don't want to see #Democrats, #liberals, #progressives, or #leftists with rainbow flags talking about how you're an "Ally". No you are fucking not. 2019-2020 and 2025 to now, I've watched y'all go mask off.

Okay. But we still need to overturn #CitizensUnited and take away the ABILITY for billionaires to donate large amounts in the first place.

That needs to be the primary goal. And I don't think most politicians-- in either party, including #EstablishmentDemocrats -- will ever be willing to do so.

Backing politicians because they push back a bit against #IncomeDisparity is fine; but by itself, it is merely a small temporary victory, and is doomed to be a neverending uphill battle.

ippr-org.files.svdcdn.com/production/D... 1/ Interesting ideas for #progressives on #policy - "a. only push policies that are directly connected to reducing the #risk of #climate impacts (either directly or on people) b. only promise outcomes that policy is actually capable of delivering"
