I have an inkling of hope that we won’t see a repeat of that narrative, especially if we’re dealing with poocum newsom. Chuck and Jeffies have really dropped the ball in terms of being an effective controlled opposition IMO the average lib has finally lost faith in democrats.
We’ll still see all those libs go “welp I guess I gotta vote for this guy” because they can’t fathom a nonbinary decision but I think the vitriol towards those who can’t stand the dem candidate will be much lower than it was for Kamala (blue sky not included)
They seemingly haven’t though. At least judging by the people I’ve talked to, in person, and online, people seem about as deluded as ever, trusting the suits on tv blaming everyone else for their losses in 2024.
It three presidential elections with the worst possible choices as candidates in a row as the “safe” choice didn’t win them over, it will take something else to bring them around.
It will take a barnstorming campaign, with populist rhetoric and the energy that goes with that, by an aggressive forceful candidate backed by organized groups and a slate of candidates up and down the line. And the odds of getting that are near zero it seems. Even without thinking of assassinations, that we would have to think about if it got popular, but at first we could do the barnstorming in person, at some point would need remote speeches, and our own security. Turn down secret service protection if you get the nomination, or relegate them away from the candidate to use as shields.
some small part of me hopes that he beats out kamala to further disenchant liberals who keep getting fooled by the democrat’s cloak of social progressivism-in-name-only.

This could have been said about lib leadership at various points in the 2010’s and 2000’s as well
