I’ve been saying that this is one big punishment from the bourgeois ruling class to the people who didn’t want to play by their rules and chose to sit out of the election.
Enough people will fold by the 2026 midterms and go back to voting the Democrats. All they have to do is to sit and wait for Trump to dish out the punishment for them.
The system is designed to punish. You can’t force the Democrats to change their policy.

Definitely true but it also appears to be the case that the whole system is collapsing so it may have been the right call to give the Democrats the middle finger in the interest of destroying American empire.
I don’t think anyone seriously thought that the Dems would change. The issue is that there was zero reason for someone to vote Dems, since they do not propose any alternative to Republican policies.

Not sure why you seem to imply people want to (or should) use the ballot-box as an “enlist as a dog of empire” box.
The most marginal demographics in the West have been getting raked over the coals since time immemorial; if more people need to see the inhumanity of bourgeoisie-rule in order to precipitate class-consciousness, that is better than scapegoating minorities to enjoy brunch another election cycle.

I hold both of these views simultaneously
Do I think they will change their stance? No. But if they do I’m willing to vote for them
some people probably have that hard line without thinking the party will actually do it
