    The Democratic party has just officially morphed into the Republican party of 30 years ago. They trotted out the Cheney’s ffs.

    Not like it matters. We’re not voting our way out of this situation, the fascists won’t let anyone take power back now that they have it. It’s revolution or a technofeudal hellscape.

      The Dems will do it again too. They’ll find an older grandfatherly type in the model of Reagan to run as a candidate, and he’ll talk about compromise, not progressive causes. They’ll toss in some vague progressive light stuff that they will promptly shitcan once they win.
