    The great thing about the orange turd- gurgler, is that he’s so bad, even the bad democrats might be popular enough to elect in enough numbers to have the majority to get things done - if our republic survives.

    My thinking is that we need the dems that we can get into office, then work on replacing them with better ones, as we go. The moderates definitely need to go away… enough with the “meeting in the center,” when the center is always moving to the right.

    The voters need to have realistic expectations as well - we’ve been in decline since the '70s - it won’t be fixed in 4 or 8 years, but nothing is going to be fixed at all, so long as corporations and billionaires are in charge.

      Trump is still popular. Dems are in an ouroboros of cope right now with no way out. They’ve basically been in charge for two decades and done nothing. If they want to get elected it will have to be on a populist platform without all of woke BS. (e.g. an anti-Trump version of Trump) Ironically Trump’s campaign borrowed a ton of messaging from Bernie Sanders. No surprise that he won considering Democrats pushed Bernie and his grievances out of the way a decade ago in favor of perhaps the most well-connected, corporatist technocrat to ever run for President.
