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

What happens when there's no more Trump to hold the Popular Front Against cheeto-man together? Won't the thing just start to collapse under the weight of its own contradictions, as the Democrats now lack a bonapartist figure like Trump to unite them through negative partisanship?

On the other hand, maybe they'll just get away scamming subsequent generations by inventing a new cheeto-man to rally against. Would that stick given the conditions. The base of the party won't be the same MSNBC TV addicts who live comfortably enough to indulge such a narrative without thinking.
