    If the Republican Party becomes nonviable, the Democratic Party will take their place with all their policy positions without a second thought. That is what the Democratic Party leadership will do in my opinion.

        That’s exactly how my state is being ran. We’ve got the most regressive taxation than any other state, roads are falling apart, blue and white collar workers can’t afford to live here but at least our politicians always raise their voice against Trump… Except for when they want federal dollars.

    Dems are setting themselves up to be routed in 2028. Mark it.

    The MAGA influencer squad are already running an interception campaign between the movement and Trump. They’ll get the first 30% of early movers, and the hogs, well, all they do is follow. It’s already happening and has been happening for years. Now it’s coming to a boil.

    This cohort holds most of their audience, and is setting up a clear chain of rhetoric they’ll be able to use to back up their claims that Trump was the problem all along. They’ll get to dismiss the baggage and keep the white supremacy, Christian nationalism, and authoritarianism.

    The Democrats have had one, and only one lane to victory. And as a party they’ve fully ceded to the fact that they are a pro-war, pro-genocide, pro corporate money, pro Israel party. There are individuals who break the mold, but they are few and the party works to sabotage them, while media questions if they should be in the party at all. Then you’ve got the same hogs on the dem side, eating up all the same slop and vomiting it back, doing the on the ground work of preventing the party from embracing it’s identity as a left wing party.

    The Dems are cooked right now, and it’s because as a party they conditioned their voters to accept little and less under the mantra of ABWD and strategic voting. The strategy resulted in a party less popular than Donald Trump, who is probably the least popular president of all time.

    They’re going to be outflanked by this cohort of MAGAz who are successfully intercepting Trump’s movement from the larger RNC.

    Members of the Democratic National Committee voted down a symbolic resolution aimed at curbing the “growing influence” of “dark money” corporate groups in Democratic primaries that specifically called out the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

    And instead voted to pass one that affects all PACs…

    Which obviously includes AIPAC…

    DNC Chair Ken Martin posted on X, stating, “We had various resolutions that focused on different industries and groups, and instead of going one-by-one, we passed a blanket repudiation.”

    Like, I get why billionaire owned media is mad, they’re the ones funding all those other PACs…

    But I have zero idea why any informed voter isn’t hyped something even better is happening instead.

    DNC re-affirms that money is power, and its commitment of the US to the Israel vs. Middle East conflict.

      That’s not entirely fair since they voted for a broad anti-PAC measure earlier, they just don’t want to also single out AIPAC. Maybe they should tho
