    The only one on your list that I would take up arms to defend is AOC. And she’s been pushing it lately.

      The Democrat party has had an influx of never Trump centrists and even milquetoast conservatives. The dems will be moving right ward to accommodate those new pick ups until the Maga crowd fizzles out and conservatives go back to the GOP.

      Or we have a complete realignment and the parties flip. It’s happened before.

        If that’s true then they should, not exactly flip, but the Dems should embrace themselves as being the “this is how far RIGHT you’re allowed to go before you’re a crazy person” party… Instead of what they are now which is the same but for the left. Completely ignore maga and they’ll die out one way or another, and start working with a more serious left and whatever the far left shapes up to be. Yeah the more serious left will take some of their more progressive members, but they’ll stay competitive with the Republicans joining them… You know, until the boomers are all gone. Then we’ll be rid of both of these monstrosities, and replaced with basically whatever parties the millennials and younger generations build. Maybe even an entire election system. Sorry daydreaming there at the end.

        Gen x can come too if they want, I guess
