    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.
