we had amazing protective-angry-grandad ~~gives~~ vibes in '16 and '20 but that was too "radical" for the democratic powerbrokers and their mega donors .
I have not seen one iota of change in the entrenched democratic party "stalwarts" yet. when the rubber met the road, they had one job to do and have now failed at it twice.
edit to say: I agree with your reasoning here, but the current party makeup is apparently not up to the challenge.
edit: word.
I completely agree.
I think this really serves to illustrate my one sub-point that just writing things off as "racism/bigotry" is detrimental to reforming the democratic party.
As long as people who vote Dem are content to just accept Racism and Bigotry as justification for their own political failures, there is no incentive from the Party to stray from nominating stus quo neo-libs. They still are running as if it's 1993.
