Mustn't we reevaluate our party since it is is going through a right wing realignment?

146. Actually what it does not change is that HRC

Is a center right conservative politician, now leading a center right party. My friends in the RNC are fascists. Ergo, there is a real vacuum, that will be filled...to the left

Either the Rs after a period of crisis will go back to Lincoln, I am sure you will miss the reference, or we will see a new party, could be the greens, could be a new party, emerge left of center while the Rs continue to self destruct.

In the meantime, yes, the Democratic Party is also splitting, just in a less spectacular fashion. Enjoy being the Conservative party. Sooner or later the donkeys will be despised by the left as much as the Republicans are. In fact, I am starting to hear that talk locally from sources, including life long democrats who are not just leaving the party organization and committes, but formally re-registering as NDPs, or the two who went green. That is just the beginning.

I admit, seeing in real time what one predicted here 10 years ago is kind of scary. Though I did say in my lifetime. That usually leads to instability, which we do have and it is starting to be more than just obvious. The US has had three major realignments and 3 others that were minor. One of the major ones included a real life, not so civil, civil war.
