One of the assumptions of Kamala Harris’s failed presidential bid was that voters didn’t want radical change of any kind. She promised an incremental approach designed to gradually improve things without altering what she assumed were beloved American institutions like the courts. In reality, life for most Americans is pretty bleak and they don’t have much investment in those longstanding traditions.
And Give Up All This?

“No radical change of any kind” has been the dnc’s central tenet for decades now.
I give it no more than 10 more years. Possibly even as few as five. My biggest question is whether the lobbyist-billionaire multinationals that run the country will allow Trump to go nuts and wreck the country with his Scooby-Doo plots or whether they will have him taken out (via a 25th Amendment ballot or a bullet). I guess it depends on whether their collection of the last few drops of the nation’s precious bodily fluids is necessary or whether they’ll consider having siphoned off almost all the wealth sufficient.
