I have said before - If it is not progressive, it will be conservative.
The problem is Americans want change. Real change. The type of change that the traditional Republican or Democrat is never going to give them. But so long as on the surface they sound or appear like they would, they will win.
This is what Donald Trump figured out. And assuming we have another election, the next person need only look and sound different to win. But it has to be, not just during an election. There are enough dumb people to push someone over the edge, just as there are enough smart people to hold something back.
Unless someone like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez runs for President and the Democratic Leadership does not stand in her way, like they did with Bernie Sanders, expect another crazy MAGA-like conservative.
Because the need for change does not go away until satisfied. In fact, the worse things get, the more that need grows. I hope people remember that during the mid-terms, because as it stands now, most of the Democratic Leadership, sitting doing nothing, while asking for donations, is not going to end well.
