    We all wanted rocky road ice cream, and they gave us vanilla

    I feel like you missed an important point here. We didn’t all want rocky road, we argued quite a bit on what ‘‘new and progressive’’ flavor we wanted. Some people even wanted vanilla.

    The MAGAts won because they were united in not caring what flavor they got, so long as certain folks weren’t allowed in the ice cream shop.

      Very fair point. Some are definitely further left than others. We’ll take Bernie. I’m not nearly as far left as he is. I’m still left of center though. We need a uniting figure. Just as MAGA has. I think it still comes down to the DNC not fully listening to what their voters want. It’s anyone’s guess how the mid terms and forward will go. If the GOP is right, the impending depression will loose them majority for some time. I don’t think it’ll be as long as last time. Last time didn’t have the crutch of social media, 24/7 “news” and a myriad of other issues we have now. We can only hope that if the DNC does get control for a bit, it’ll be enough time to fix things.
