    The biggest failure was the Democrats who nominated Biden in 2020. That primary was the last offramp that could have avoided a fascist takeover, either in 2024 or 2028, with Trump or a Trump clone.

    The return of Trump might just have bought us another shot in 2028, but it’s not looking like the Democrats have learned much. Trump has a lot of similarities to Hoover and, as bad a President as he was, he was great for Democrats and progressivism. If the Democrats can get their heads out of their asses, the Trump Presidency might open a path to save the country - assuming we survive it.

      The biggest failure

      I’d argue it started with Hillary, when the dems basically ignored their constituents and put her on the ticket.

      Should have been Bernie… it was rigged in her favor and they’ve been reaping the bullshit of that cheat since…

        The thing about Hillary’s loss against Trump was that it should have shocked the Democratic party into reform. The way they manipulated to get Biden and “anyone but Bernie” proved that they learned nothing.
