If we see a huge red wave this Nov. I don't expect the Dem party to change. The Dems who live in the wealthy enclaves around the country and who help create many of the policies will still have the support of the MSM. Toss in an almost unlimited access to campaign funds (Silicon Valley) and I don't see anything changing.
Now, the Dems lose the WH in 2024, the public continues to tune out the MSM and Silicon Valley decides it might be in their best interest to give equally to both parties....we'll begin to see a change.
Maybe we need McCarthy level reforms in Hollywood and the MSM. Blacklist the woke/progressives. They are worse than the communists ever were.

Because the two major factions are pro-corporate and socially reactionary; the other one is slightly less pro-corporate and socially centrist. Progressives are a minority. That's why.

And what makes you think democrats are capable of creating anything resembling Scandinavia in this country when they've demonstrated no such ability?
In 2021, the far left wing of the dim party read a 50/50 Senate and 8 seat House majority as a "mandate" to push absurd, detached woke policies like canceling drilling leases, spending additional trillions well after COVID had subsided and flooding the border open to 5 million+ illegal foreign invaders. They decided that 0.01% of the population had the right to inflict their wacky gender ideology on the rest of us. They really made the senile old fool occupying the White House think he was FDR or LBJ. They resisted and continued to resist any calls to moderate themselves until the final stretch of the midterm cycle, and even then it's clearly a gimmick to get gullible voters.
America is fundamentally NOT a woke progressive country. The woke progressives themselves are a small fraction of the democrat party yet they manage to open their foul mouths the widest. Why the entire party including moderates caved to them in 2020-2021, I do not know, but for that reason alone they absolutely deserve to be supremely punished on November 8.
Let the dems go the way of British Labour post-2019. Labour realized "woke" is NOT a winning ideology and is detested by a clear, massive majority of the population outside well-to-do urban enclaves and university towns. Now Labour has moderated itself and is once again a thoroughly electable party with a very realistic shot at winning the next General Election after the Tories recent buffoonery.
The dems, too, need a long period out of power to purge the woke wing and become electable moderates once again.
There is NOTHING that will make democrats sane again. Liberalism is a game of "one upmanship" in which whoever is the most insane or embraces the most bizarre, extremist notions, or is the most "offended" wins.
Liberalism is based on seeking the affirmation and approval of fellow liberal hypocrites, all of which are competing to be the most "offended" and holding the lunacy of liberalism most dear.
Common sense and critical thinking is vacated (and celebrated) in liberalism, while irrational emotion rules.
Liberals will NEVER become sane, thus we MUST, as some point, separate from these individuals who will only get worse over time and are refractory to debate or reason. They are like rabid animals who, in the grips of insanity, have vacated normal behavioral patterns of thier species.

I just told you. They are soft-pro-corporates, barring the progressive faction.

I thought MAGA was all about freedom of speech. Well, looks like "Freedom for me but not for thee" is the "free speech" types' guiding paradigm.
