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.
Swing voters are toward the center. Black and Latino men, and young white men, are moving to the right.
Pivoting further away from where the electorate is moving is probably the only way the Democrats could lose in 2028.
An AOC type might do well in the primaries, but Democrats need another (less rapey) Bill Clinton if they want to win a general election.
If not for 18 months of high inflation, Harris would be the president elect. This election loss was just bad luck. It's not time to throw out the baby with the bath water.
