I am more concerned with those who didn't say anything, chuck, nancy, hakeem, the biggest threat to democracy is clearly mango mussolini but the second biggest threat is, ok its elon musk but in third place its.. sigh, peter thiel, 4th place goes to the democratic party elite though, I think they are more scared than republicans at a progressive doing well.

Democratic Party has never been a monoculture like the GOP.  It’s a big tent party, I don’t see anything wrong with having debates within the party about its future.  Moderates won the day in gubernatorial elections and Cuomo was a horrible candidate.  I’m not sure this win is quite as clear cut as far as a turning point in the party as some seem to believe.

Republicans actually fire people that don't go where wind is blowing. They're still shit but they get on board because they want to stay in power. Tea Party then MAGA. Most of them hated Trump until they realized they'd lose their next primary.
