  • Well, they also owned the Republican party once, and magas/fascists took it over. That means progressives can take over the Democratic party.

    No party lasts forever and these two have been way overdue. The way a new party becomes “one of the two” in the US’ 2-party system is either by building up a third party from the bottom up over many years, or by taking control and transforming one of the existing two, which is much faster, as we’ve seen.

    Technically the fascist magas started in earnest in 2008 with the Tea party movement as a backlash to Obama, not succeeding to oust Obama in 2012, and taking 8 years to get to Trump. Progressives started in 2016 as a reaction to Trump, got Trump out in 4 years, and stopped the predicted “red wave” in 2022. We’re on track, let’s keep it going. Don’t give up.
