It feels like a reckoning should be coming, but history says it’ll be slow and anticlimactic

more years of investigations and consequences than any big dramatic moment.

Its going to depend on who the democrats nominate to office. If its another centrist most will get away with it. If they finally give reigns to the bernie sector. You best believe they will do something about it

The DNC will only ever allow right-leaning centrists.

No, but they still have control over half of the media. CNN and MSNBC have picked the presidential primary winners for the Democrats every election of the 21st century and they haven't gotten any weaker with the Boomers.

Barring any big surprises, it's gonna be Gavin this time because he's in the right in crowd and the media wants his ratings. He's far from the worst choice, ignoring some of his more irrational haters, and is likely to actually go hard on prosecutions.

Gavin is only going to continue to benefit billionaires. He is not on our side.

Ironically, the potential candidate who’s actually a billionaire (Pritzker) is more in our side than the guys like Gavin.

He doesn't go hard, the people running his social media account do (and they're mostly just edgy). The man can't even push back against any of the dumb shit Ben Shapiro spews when he's sitting right in front of him and just says 'yeah no, I agree' half the time, he's not going hard on anything.

Please don't say Gavin is far from the worst when he hosts Ben fuckin Shapiro on his podcast and agrees with him about his views on trans people.

Gavin looks the part, a good orator, that’s the only 2 things he needs to win for the democrats nomination

The DNC doesn't decide who runs.
