    It’s still early, but this is could be a real reckoning for the centrist liberals that have ruled the party for the last 3 decades.

    Hopefully it’s not too late to undo the fascism they ushered in one betrayal at a time.

      We’ll see. The only cure foe scapegoating, far-right populism is genuine economic populism. I’m optimistic that, if we excise enough of the third-way rot from the party, the remaining Democratic hacks will see which way the wind is blowing and fall in line behind an actual progressive vision.

        Maybe, but all it takes is just enough holdouts yet again. I hope you’re right and I hope it happens while there’s still time.
