    Trump’s maga base is becoming disenfranchised with him so she’s going to turn the spotlight back on her so that they have a villain to point to to justify any vile shit Trump does. So that’s nice of her.

    /edit actually this could be good. When she gives some tepid “ICE needs more training” and then pushes for ICE to get more funding to pay for said training it could radicalize brunch libs more than it normalizes ICE.

        There’s enough of a blob of swing voters (never understood such people but i digress) who are like “damn the economy still sucks, guess I’ll try voting blue this time!”. Which is basically how trump won last time (+ horrific dem candidate), and how biden beat trump.

        Feels like since both parties are ideologically incapable of resolving capitalism’s contradictions, and don’t even have any new ideas for smoothing over those contradictions (it’s all just reheated fascism and neoliberalism, even the most “radical” berniecrats just offer keynesianism), they’ll just hand over power to each other every four years pending revolution. Look at the UK for another example, Labour crushed the tories, and now barely a couple of years later are themselves absolutely loathed.
