Many Democrats continue to believe that the racism of average Americans — many of whom voted for Barack Obama twice — explains why Donald Trump won. This moralism suits party elites who would rather demonize the public than address growing inequality.

    This party-unaffiliated voter continues to believe that the idiocy, myopicism, gerontocracy, and neoliberalism of the DNC explains why orangeboi won. At this point, I have no faith whatsoever in the party apparatus’s ability to win fucking anything. They demonstrably do not care about, and refuse to engage with - let alone acknowledge - the actual problems that exist in our society, because their political consultants are telling them those are topics they don’t need to worry about.

      The options are:

      • change the party (recommended)
      • build a national winning team in another party
      • abandon politics and/or the country

      The timeframe is about 13 months.

        My prediction is that 3p candidates are gonna do shockingly well in 2026 (assuming we even have elections at that point, and assuming the elections aren’t manipulated six ways from Sunday - neither of those are safe assumptions).
