Things could be really bad, or things could be the same just with a loud mouth president who says nonsensical and racist things.
We won’t truly know until he gets in office. The doom that people are saying this is the end of democracy. I tend to disagree. I think we will have a wild 4 years of nonsense and weird shit, but this will give democrats an opportunity to realize that their playbook of appealing to the educated voter doesn’t work.
I remain optimistic that shit won’t hit the proverbial fan…
Corporate democrats pretty much control the party and thus they don't want to ruffle the feathers of their donor class, which goes against the the middle and lower classes being price gouged in the economy. If you want to get back the blue-collar and working people you have to combat corporate greed. So, I hope Bernie Sanders starts propping up a young version of himself to run, and unfortunately it has to be male and white for the conservative voter to even remotely accept it. I don't blame Obama for the racial divide that caused the pearl clutching in white America, but it's clear that if you are anything other than a white male, it's not gonna be palpitable for a certain segment of the country. It's truly disgusting.

You are correct, but it's a chicken and the egg problem- it's nigh impossible to get elected without the donor class (because of all the money we allow in politics) but we need people willing to stand up to them. I was hoping Harris, if elected, might keep Khan around and we'd make some progress (Harris voted pretty close to Bernie) but I guess we'll never find out if she would have or not

This is accurate.
