The DNC will have to face this fact during the next four years and rebuild itself as a firmly moderate centrist party if it ever hopes to compete with its opposite number in years to come. I am optimistic that if nothing else this election has laid bare that fact to the DNC and that it will work to erase the damaging effects that the Jacobins in its midst have and are causing.
From your lips to God's ear. Taking the long view, it's my more simple-minded impression that the Democratic Party has distinguished itself of late mostly through dumbassery.
The Republican Party also has work to do. They enabled Trump. They had a chance early on to distance themselves from the crazy assclown and do a solid for America, and they chose to take the coward's way out. By the time they realized they were stuck fast to the Trump tarbaby, they had nowhere to go. Then the love affair began to discorporate around the trial, when it was really too late, followed by endless waffling. So a pox on them, too.
Rick Wilson in his book Everything Trump Touches Dies talks about this very well -- the nature of the damage the GOP has done to itself through Trump and how it can resurrect itself with the American people.
I fear neither party is in a good place to repair themselves, which is really too bad.

I agree. They have to come to terms with the fact that under Trump, the Republican Party ceased to the voice of conservatism. Trump is not and has never been a conservative. Now is a perfect opportunity for Burkian conservative Republicans to reclaim their party from the Trumpian reactionaries.

yeah it's difficult to be less impressed by someone who not only doesn't live in the country but doesn't post here in any consistent manner. If you want people to take you seriously you should probably broaden your portfolio of motivations for writing something to them.

I may not live in the US or have US citizenship but I every right to comment upon and criticise American political events and persons. Especially when policies or statements emanating out the White House have or are affecting the country in which I live. That right extends to anyone else from outside the USA who posts here regularly or from time to time and wishes to comment. It is, after all, an open forum.
Think of us outliers then as disenfranchised stakeholders whose observations and comments are of no consequence. That, I am sure, would suit us just fine.
Elbows up!

In fairness, your ultimate prediction strikes me as little more than nihilism, without taking part in the outcome.

AFAIC you're welcome here whenever you care to come in and comment, Renauda.

Okay @Renauda
But I would also be interested in your opinion Jolly. There much difference in your mind, or has it changed from now to before?
