      They’ve started huffing their own farts and think they’ve achieved Total Liberal Consensus

      I assume the idea is that there's a lot of republicans that dislike Trump but still feel a deep attachment to him via their allegiance to the Republic Party, so she's running on a platform that these republicans can cling to so as to simultaneously vote against Trump but within their perceived moral obligations to the party.

      Hopefully that made sense, it was clearer in my head.

        No, you're right, that's exactly what they think. The issue is that those people largely don't exist; they tried it with Biden in 2020 and it was still extremely close.

      I feel like I saw this happen in real time 4 years ago when Bernie dropped out and all of the ads were targeted at so-called “Reagan republicans.” The Dems outside of like GA courted suburban whites with their “law and order” and the adults are back in the room rhetoric

      because of the democrat's entrenched interests with arms dealers, tech monopolies, neocolonial hedge funds and asset firms, and billionaires like Soros and Buffet and their companies, big banks (Citigroup hand-picked Obama's cabinet and influenced his Fed choice of one of their executives who also oversaw Israel's central bank; him bailing the banks out was not an anomoly), etc. they are structurally incapable of reorienting to the left to capture any of the (growing and increasingly impoverished) working and lumpen voters on the left, so have to fight over the (ever shrinking and rightward-moving under crisis) bourgeois and petty bourgeois voterbase with the Republicans. Who would vote for their wallets (tax cuts deregulation etc) before caring about any of the surface level social issues the democrats pretend to care about (and pretend less and less)

      It is their downfall. It is why we need to vote and agitate for and uplift the PSL (and even help Greens etc. who want the duopoly broken too and can be useful) and agitate to furthur rupture these intractable contradictions between the democrats' actual base and their interests and platform. The breakthrough is in the moribundity and redundancy of the democrat party compared to the republicans which is exposed by by starving them of the working class margins they need if they ever want power again and force them into untenable positions. Either the ruling class floats a progressive "labor" reformist party like the greens or another and breaks the democrats in half with half joining republicans outright and half flooding the reformist party in hedge-betting (alienating the reformists' left wing into socialist ranks); or they don't float a reformist party and coalition with the republicans like they seem to be doing and the left only grows exponentially because nobody in the broad working masses even had illusions about the republicans in the first place and parties like the PSL will have very little resistance to growing and rising by that point and risks for the ruling class allowing a dual power scenario to grow and take root. Either way this will all force an inward-facing and chaotic reorientation in the bourgeois politicians who have clearly forgotten how to play politics, in the face of a rising left, which only helps the victims of imperialism abroad and creates fertile ground for socialist growth in countless ways.

      At this point it’s now that Dems have become the uniparty and the only alternative is the highly popular but somehow eviler opposition that thinks the uniparty should double down whenever its in doubt.

      They think they can make it so they're just the Dems, a party of Republicans and Democrats, then that crazy MAGA party with no power.

      They're all about ignoring what the people want in favor of their donors
