    the tea aparty didnt seem to be about goals, it was about grievance. Seemed to be the birth of maga. But I admit I wasnt listening to them very closely.

      you can still find their stated listed of goals. Trump actually killed the tea party when he passed his deficit bomb tax cuts. Like Paul Ryan basically was the face of the tea party and bailed out once it became obvious he was never serious about it.

      The dem equivalent of the Tea Party are “Blue Dog Democrats” “Joe Manchin/Kristen Sinema” “Eric Adams”

      If you aren’t willing to vote for somewhat icky democrats you get the first ex-republican corporations can scoop up. Not voting will solidify Dick Cheney and Nikki Haley as the furthest left we’ll get to choose from next election because if Joe Biden is electable and Harris isnt, the obvious conclusion democrats will be sold on is that they need to be somewhere between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
