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
In 2019 there were 7.5 million private sector unionized workers with the same number in the public sector, with a larger overall share of 10.9%, the recent total increase is just a residual rebound from covid, the rate and the overall number has still been decreasing since early 2020, there is no way to frame this as labor "momentum", this is labor fighting for its life and at best stagnating
I waited for the dems to win four straights Ws before I started concluding anything and I left open the possibility that all this recent momentum can collapse on the dems, maybe I'm a little early, but I'm confident if a collapse in their fortune comes it won't originate from the domestic side but from overseas
