Not really that surprising to anybody that pays attention.

If the the Confederate battle flag bumper stickers, the battle "re-enactments" that change the outcomes of said battles to favor the losers, and multigenerational utterance of "the south will rise again" wasn't clear enough...
This is what we get for having given the Confederate traitors military burials disgustingly next to the US soldiers they killed and survivor benefits for their murderous treachery in the name of owning humans as slaves.
Yeah old news at this point but I guess because a lot of people refused to see it, is the reason for the article.
Always remind them that Obama was president longer than the losing Confederacy existed.
Democrats aren't realizing it though. They are still playing games with our Democracy so they can try to force their own conservative candidates into power. Biden would rather support a child murderer than ensure he's there to prevent Trump from getting into office.
With that kind of political strategy, where Dems are not signaling any genuine urgency, it's hard to see a scenario where the far-right doesn't take over, regardless of whether Biden squeezes out a win this time. Neoliberals can only play chicken with our democracy for so long before disaster strikes, you'd think they'd have learned that in 2016.
History says you’re right.
If you really believe this then you are completely fucking clueless as to just how conservative most of this country is / has been brainwashed into being.
Get a clue dude, Dems are not left. They never have been.
Carter was the furthest left we've ever gone and even that was well within the bounds of profitable capitalism...
Unless first past the post is changed this is what we get.
Either vote for the more left guy who is really center right or get the fascist.
Your choice.
Retrospectology is right:
Of the 2 parties in the system,
The Democrat Party is coasting on its assumed-entitlement to win, instead of doing what factually is required, in order to win,
and they actually are accommodating giving the Republicans victory.
Even without the coming economic problems, as the extra-printed-money ( thus devaluing the currency ) continues to cause limited-wages to get weaker & weaker & weaker,
even without that, the backing-of-Israel's-genociding has cost them the GenZ & Muslim vote, already.
They've got their heads so far up their ass, that they CANNOT understand that Dictator Trump's going to have some of them executed.
Moronic making-believing "strategy" doesn't cut it.
IF one is in authority, THEN by G-D one is obliged to wield that authority responsibly, and the Dems are in assumptions-land.
