Now that insanity and evil have triumphed, what comes next from the opposition?
I voted for Dean Philips in the Democratic Primary, as one of a handful of candidates who recognized that Biden-Harris would be a complete disaster.
He got 3% of the vote here, while Biden racked up 83+%.
Progressive candidates and reform candidates warned of the danger. Bernie was very outspoken about it. Andrew Yang correctly noted the Dems were committing suicide.
If MAGA is to be resisted, there has to be a *quick* organization of an opposition, cause once entrenched, a Trump dynasty will crush the opposition just as the Nazis did. Bernie is too old to be a viable voice. Walz might have had a shot but he tied himself to the sinking ship. No celebrities seem to want to step forward as a populist candidate. And that is clearly what is needed, someone popular and/or populist. So who is it--who is the leader of the resistance? Does there even have to be one? Can a strongman be countered by a hodgepodge of contrary voices? Should it be far left, like the Democratic Youth who want to not only defund but eliminate the police? Or does it have to be someone/something more centrist? I really don't know--hence me writing this post.
