MODERATORS
 

“This is a collapse of the Democratic Party.” Consumer advocate, corporate critic and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader comments on the reelection of Donald Trump and the failures of the Democratic challenge against him.

Despite attempts by left-wing segments of the Democratic base to shift the party’s messaging toward populist, anti-corporate and progressive policies, says Nader, Democrats “didn’t listen.” Under Trump, continues Nader, “We’re in for huge turmoil.”

Eh, even if they do, because I do believe it's 100% possible they'll try to end democracy in all but name this cycle, I don't think Trump will even live out his full term in the next 4 years. The man looks older every rally and photo op. He can't even open doors.

Vance sucks in all the same ways every neocon sucks, so I don't think he'll be a totalitarian aberration like Trump if he's elected. He doesn't seem to have that something Trump has. I think he'll be more like Reagan or Bush. Which is awful, but I think it's something we can push through at least.

They'll devour each other competing for the seat of cult leader when he dies.

He's going to dive into dementia live on TV. No way that man's ego lets him be hidden away as his brain continues to melt.

By 2028, Republicans will have gone all-in on explicit voter suppression and fully political election boards, they'll let the corporate overlords for media know they can take the mask off or suffer their wrath, and they'll have a Supreme Court and federal government to back them up. They don't need to hide anymore. They made the fascistic push this time and they won, now is time to wield that power.
