    Right after the election I called it that the infighting will start before Trump takes office, and it did.

    They’re not going to get the votes in both houses to really do any of the shit they want to, and they’re going to lose big in midterms, with a decent chance of losing both houses.

    Setting us up for a great chance in 2028 against a non incumbent to get the presidency and decent majorities.

    It’s why the upcoming DNC chair election is so important, we need to start planning now and putting things in motion so we can capitalize at every step instead of not giving a shit for 3 years.

    We need a party that never stops working, because the fascists will never stop, they’ll always come back as soon as people stop paying attention.

        The GOP certainly isn’t going to do anything positive so the chair selection is quite important.

          The chair will go to the most republican-adjacent candidate like always.

      I’m skeptical DNC. Unless they start fighting dirty and campaigning like the GoP, instead of campaigning like its 1950 and sucking up to billionares too, they are going to keep losing elections.

      People see what’s filtered through their feeds now, and that chaos isn’t going to register much with voters. Just like it (mostly) didn’t in the last few elections.

        I’m skeptical DNC.

        Unless we get a last minute pro-corpo candidate, the worst that’s really possible is Martin O’Malley, who definitely isn’t my first choice but he barely has any ties to the last rements of the neoliberal old guard. I’m fairly confident he’d still make all the right calls tho

        The other three serious candidate would all be great, although Ben Wilker is my ideal.

        and that chaos isn’t going to register much with voters

        They’re all rage addicted…

        This won’t stay a fight between Musk and trump, or even MAGA/Corpo Politicians.

        Crypto bros on Twitter and red hats in Alabama will be actively going after each other the entire time, it probably already is. They don’t have to be shown the chaos, they’ll be part of it.

        That’s weird. Isnt one of the criticisms that they wasted this last election calling people weird and not giving much on their platform? Seems like a very Republican campaign, full of name calling and “concepts of ideas”

      I’m thinking it will be a repeat of his first time. He had majorities in both houses and couldn’t get any major policies through because of infighting. With wich a slim majority I think we’ll see the same thing.
