I believe they can fumble and fail upwards into the white house again simply because as soon as Donald dies from acute Big Mac poisoning, the rest of the GOP will turn on itself trying to be the next "God Emperor". If it happens during an election year and they don't have time to get their shit together (and they won't, because every single one of those hyenas are self serving and ready to stab each other in the back), the Dems might just win by default. Of course, they will accomplish nothing during that term, but still.
In Australian English, this tactic is known as "doing a Bradbury", named for that time Steven Bradbury won an Olympic gold medal in a race where he was coming dead last by a significant margin but the front runners fell over and caused a pile up, and he was far back enough to not be involved in the shithow and cruised towards the finish line.
The Democrats started out as the party of openly proud slaveowners writing polemics about how Black people are totally cool about being slaves and stealing half of Mexico. This is them returning to their roots. There's only so much you can reform out of the slaveowning party, and we are seeing the limits of how much lipstick you can put on a pig and how much you can polish a turd. To entertain any delusion otherwise is like thinking the NSDAP can be reformed into a progressive party.
Yeah but their opponents are the Republicans, who are mirror image rubes and fuck ups. People also said the Democrats would never win again in 1980 after Reagan swept Carter.
Not to mention that candidates in America don't win based on popular issues. That influences things but what issues are even available and which people are at the podiums is the jurisdiction of capital. The president is whoever capital allows the president to be.
people have said that [insert party] will never win another election again forever in this country. people said that reps would never win again after obama in '08 and before hillary lost in 2016 (lmao). after the dems didn't totally shit the bed in the midterms in 2022 people were saying it. after 4 years of trump and his cabinet stumbling around breaking things and being annoying in the news every day the dems will be looking a lot better to the average voter than they do in the immediate aftermath of 4 years of brandon
The dems have lost the way. Either they reform or they'll never have a candidate to win presidency ever again.
