Yea, it's definitely not gonna happen, but the libs love pretending it's the end of democracy and take that possibility very seriously

Except Trump won't be on the ticket again (barring a literal fucking coup that re-writes the constitution without state ratification), so both parties would be running a 'not Trump' candidate.

I can totally see that.

Maybe it's how lemmy mixes posts from many instances by default, but sometimes I wander into a thread that I expect to be more stereotypically 'progressive', and it ends up being shockingly establishment.

Maybe that's a strength of federation: that even if your instance is locked-in to a particular perspective, you'll still get exposed to a wide range from other instances.

There haven't been any popular defed protests lately, maybe things are settling

Nevermind that AOC is a shit choice too, but who in their right-mind would prefer a Biden or Shapiro over even a nominally progressive option?

I honestly thought they'd read the sarcasm
