(383 posts)But I just don't feel a major blow up like with the GOP.
And I feel more unity and cohesion. As I said, we have a moral core and an admired leader.
Yes, Hillary and Obama felt they had to pivot right to get anything done, but it didn't really work out well.
Also the times have changed and establishment candidates with ties to the 1% are going down.
The electorate is now ready for a female president but they no longer trust establishment candidates.
So Hillary missed her window of opportunity 8 years ago. No candidate could hold a candle to Obama's
superb political acumen. So the schism is there in the Dem party but I do not see the violence, hatred and evil
that we are seeing from the GOP.
But yes, a very possible scenario is that the GOP goes belly up.
The reasonable Repugs (if there are any) and the Hillary faction unite.
The right wing lunatic fringe forms a Hitler Party or whatever they want to call it.
A true left wing party forms.
And yes of course, make no mistake, this has nothing at all to do with individuals.
They are just the symptoms of a huge societal shift.
The dynamics we are seeing would have happened no matter who was on stage.
We are moving into the 21st century for real.
And it is going to happen fast.
