Tomorrow Donald Trump will take the oath of office again. By spurning economic populism and embracing Bush-era Republicans, Democrats helped pave the way for his second inauguration.

Remember in 2016 when they ran a deeply unpopular woman against trump, who alienated voters by being herself?

Flash forward to 2024 where they ran a deeply unpopular woman against trump, who alienated voters by being herself.

The good news is, in 2028, trump won't be able to run again. So they won't have the option to run a deeply unpopular woman against trump who alienates voters by being herself.

.......oh god. They're going to run Elizabeth Warren, aren't they?

You are assuming that there will be elections again. I'm not convinced.
