    I don’t believe in this “that’ll teach them and THEN they’ll turn it around” dynamic.

    Just think about it. After Trump beat Hillary don’t you think they got just about the biggest wake up call of all? And then who did they run? Biden.

      That’s because they thought biden could win and they were right.

      If they lost twice in a row, then even their constituency would be nominating someone else.

        As you say, they were right. Biden won. As long as the wet noodles keep winning, they’re going to keep coming.

        Personally I don’t think another 4 years of Trump is worth the low chance that a loss to him would really, finally force the Democrats to change. If that change comes, it will be over time. The old guard is finally falling away as their health fails.

        And with the Supreme Court, Roe, etc, I can’t possibly sanction more Trump years just because I think Biden is a wet noodle.

          And the Biden administration has been pretty good. Not great. We’re hardly moving the ship, but at least it’s in the right direction.

          I’d rather move two knots in the right direction than ten in the wrong one.
