Reporter: "I ask protesters: what are you doing in November and they say... I'm not showing up because Bernie's not on the ticket."MSNBC: "Wow." pic.twitter.com/xAdFIM3GIZ— i am once again asking (@BernieWatchdog) August 30, 2020
I know electoralism is a bit daft and all that, but say what a lot of people suspect might happen happens and Trump gets a 2nd term.
Where exactly do the democrats go from there? I mean if they lose not once, but twice to Trump that's got to hurt them. I know a lot of what they do is basically controlled opposition at this point but surely they're going to suffer a bit of an exodus. Especially among their financial backers. They aren't going to like the idea of throwing away more money backing a losing horse.
I've given this a lot of thought over the years and my former insider's guess is that it just unceremoniously collapses one day in a cloud of plastic business cards and unpaid invoices, everyone left in the building steals as much of the furniture as they can carry, and rank-and-file libs keep a twilight vigil for the next four years waiting for someone like Elon Musk to set up a canvassing booth on K Street.
