Really good read, thank you very much for sharing.

Highly recommend actually taking a look at the article if you usually just skim headlines as you scroll

Thanks, without your comment I'd have skipped this

Do you think the Democratic Party will be forced to change after this crushing election cycle?

It’s a lot easier to look outward, to blame and demonize other people, instead of looking in the mirror and seeing what we can do. It is not fun to feel accountability. It requires a mental flexibility that’s painful. So who knows?

She also mentions receiving threats from both sides. In a sane world, she’d be running for the Republican Party. She has a lot conservative views but is moderate and thinks for herself. She knows the Magats only accept foaming-at-the-mouth reactionaries now.

This is how the democratic party fully dies. All the old school repubs flee to the democratic party and take it over. So then you have the republican party and the maga party.

They'd be a minor faction if people just voted in every single election.
