Well my thought is if the Republican party splits and then there are 3 parties, that if the dems can stick together... they will stay in power. 3 parties notoriously split the vote and hurt the corresponding closest in ideology party, i.e, the Green party takes votes from the Democrats. I'm all for it, let the Rep burn. I think the "normal Republicans" like Cheney, are fine with the more liberal party taking over for a while as long as the Trumpers are crushed. What a crazy dystopian era we are living in.
Dems do not stick together. Manchin and Sinema are going to throw the 2022 and 2024 elections to the Republicans and the American experiment will be over.
Even slightly progressive organizations can never agree throughout history. The real Russian Revolution occurred in February 1917. The provisional government spent so much time squabbling among themselves that the Bolsheviks were able with little popular support, overthrow them and take over.
Little space is left in history for the well-intentioned Mensheviks who didn't appreciate the reality of the dangerous situation they were in.....blinded by their fascination for the convoluting discussions of arcane minutae of their "profound" ideological considerations...so content they were to be able to debate and not be killed by the Tsar's men that they achieved the inevitable.....they succeeded in killing off debate and they were killed themselves of by Lenin and the Bolsheviks.
PS anyone watch the movie Mank yet and pick up on all the similarities in references to Upton Sinclair and socialism? I have read Sinclair but never knew he ran for CA Governor. Ah history. Professor, I have become such a fan of history and what it can teach us!

Humorously addressed by J. Swift in Gulliver’s Travels.
We will just have to see how they vote. Biden has given them the cover, of bipartisan olive branches that they will need, to do the right thing.

I loved Mank!
