This is no honeymoon, the American "left" will never recover from the Harris/Walz combo; every major base of support (demographic/economic) is covered; Black woman with a jovial heartlandish white man standing behind her is the universal password for the legendary "competent American fascism" software update leftists have been prophesying.

They got this shit locked for at least eight years, Walz is suburbanite catnip and Harris has the identity libs eating out her hands, along with big tech, wallstreet, and the zionist lobby who are now methodically eliminating the last holdouts of the post-2016 nascent left movement

There is no credible avenue of leverage here, the libs can effectively respond to any leftist utterance with accusations of racism, misogyny, and purity testing and it will stick. Already we have most liberals being one rhetorical step away from defending Walz unleashing the National Guard on BLM protesters

There is no point in engaging with domestic national politics at this current time, the ball is firmly overseas

The only series of events that can undermine this new DNC paradigm is Israel blowing up the world and the US mobilizing to save it. Not even the collapse of Ukraine can dent it now, since that was "Biden's project"

Hate to say it, but the DNC won a firm generational victory

I think you're forgetting the fact that people's lives will continue to get worse. There's not going to be any advantage to being an incumbent. No president is going to be able to say that's peoole are better off now than four years ago and be believed by normal people. Blue and Red MAGA cults will be the only ones saying how good things are when their person is in office.

Exactly, that's all that is required to win, and if normal people try to butt in with reality, General Walz will send in the national guard and smash their skulls

Clearly it isn't, or Biden wouldn't have been forced to drop out
