This is no honeymoon, the American "left" will never recover from the Harris/Walz combo; every major base of support (demographic/economic) is covered; Black woman with a jovial heartlandish white man standing behind her is the universal password for the legendary "competent American fascism" software update leftists have been prophesying.

They got this shit locked for at least eight years, Walz is suburbanite catnip and Harris has the identity libs eating out her hands, along with big tech, wallstreet, and the zionist lobby who are now methodically eliminating the last holdouts of the post-2016 nascent left movement

There is no credible avenue of leverage here, the libs can effectively respond to any leftist utterance with accusations of racism, misogyny, and purity testing and it will stick. Already we have most liberals being one rhetorical step away from defending Walz unleashing the National Guard on BLM protesters

There is no point in engaging with domestic national politics at this current time, the ball is firmly overseas

The only series of events that can undermine this new DNC paradigm is Israel blowing up the world and the US mobilizing to save it. Not even the collapse of Ukraine can dent it now, since that was "Biden's project"

Hate to say it, but the DNC won a firm generational victory

I'm leaning towards, "its gonna be a close race."

I'm also interested to see what happens if Trump loses. Will the "Trump for Emperor" people give up on voting for Repubs for a few Presidential cycles and the depressed turnout means Dems start taking seats down ballot and turning some Red States into Purple States? Will Trump decide to stop running for President or will he keep running until the Republican party finds a way to keep him out of their Primary and Trump running as an Independent (for that sweet sweet campaign grift money)? Will Dem voters immediately go to sleep if Kamala wins and forget to vote down ballot in the mid terms, keeping the weak Democratic Executive going? When the Republicans run a non-Trump candidate for president, will Dem voters fail to turn out to the polls, returning is to the "normal" of a Dem Pres to Repub Pres to a Dem Pres ... cycle?

My Magic 8 ball has been very unhelpful in answering these questions.
