    The best scenario is that the Republicans get destroyed so hard they stop being a party, and leftists take over,

    I think it’s already been proven that D will fight against leftists way harder than they fight against R. I’ll never trust a Republican as long as I live after what the past 8 years have shown me lurks beneath the more polite moderate bigotry and racism they mostly adhered to in the past, but as much as I love the idea that somehow our politics moves left after this, the plethora of cries for Kamala to move to the “center” (or praising her for doing so) has me very skeptical and disheartened that any of the events of recent history or the imminent death knell of Trumpism is going to do anything better than slow our rightward march.

    Democrats treat anyone at the Bernie level and beyond like they are some kind of albatross. I don’t see that changing.

    As with so many of my opinions about the presumed Harris presidency I want to be wrong, but all I see is Dems getting more conservative and R trying (probably successfully) to claim some “Well thank goodness we finally got rid of those jokers” high ground after Trump is gone.
