This is no honeymoon, the American "left" will never recover from the Harris/Walz combo; every major base of support (demographic/economic) is covered; Black woman with a jovial heartlandish white man standing behind her is the universal password for the legendary "competent American fascism" software update leftists have been prophesying.

They got this shit locked for at least eight years, Walz is suburbanite catnip and Harris has the identity libs eating out her hands, along with big tech, wallstreet, and the zionist lobby who are now methodically eliminating the last holdouts of the post-2016 nascent left movement

There is no credible avenue of leverage here, the libs can effectively respond to any leftist utterance with accusations of racism, misogyny, and purity testing and it will stick. Already we have most liberals being one rhetorical step away from defending Walz unleashing the National Guard on BLM protesters

There is no point in engaging with domestic national politics at this current time, the ball is firmly overseas

The only series of events that can undermine this new DNC paradigm is Israel blowing up the world and the US mobilizing to save it. Not even the collapse of Ukraine can dent it now, since that was "Biden's project"

Hate to say it, but the DNC won a firm generational victory

    Nah, It won't be too long now, the Bernie campaign was itself part of something larger. The Dems are plugging the dam with their fingers.

    If the DNC et al had anything left to offer the people they'd be doing it already. The caps are in feeding frenzy mode and the Dems are holding the net but they won't throw it in cuz there's a dude standing in front tossin chum in the water.

    There won't be a New Deal, just a new Threat. I wonder what Dem voter turnout will be after 8 more years of that brutality?

    I don't think you're wrong in saying the DNC has a firm grip on the near future, my minor point(cope?) is these accelerationist capitalists are driving the DNC and their paradigm right off a cliff. What their destruction heralds iunno but i think things will definitely look different in a decade, and i guess in the end the change I'm hoping for and believe in is that more people see, far more people will know that real change won't happen at the polls.

      The future of the DNC is just one long string of people appointed as token members of a past president's cabinet, who were never popular in their own right but somehow end up being machine politicians.

      They haven't run anything innovative since 2008 and they likely never will again.
