The contradiction at the heart of the Democratic Party is that they have a donor base that wants them to just be the GOP, but more respectable and less religious fundamentalist; while the voter base wants them to actually do things like M4A, work to mitigate climate change, etc. They don’t have a “strategy” anymore because Kamala’s loss showed that the base really is starting to give up on them for not doing anything. But if the DNC were to actually pursue their votes by instead of throwing all your effort into parading Liz Cheney around to try and get conservative, white, suburban votes, then you alienate your donors.

I think they’re just counting on a major recession happening in the next four years (highly likely IMO) and riding that, and never trying to resolve that contradiction.

Careful with that last bit, they might try to hire you as a campaign strategist.

Honestly, it's looking more and more like a depression rivaling the one that happened in the 1930s, complete with a dustbowl and reactionary coups all over the world.
