      The libs are fighting over it right now.

      They’re electing a new leader on Tuesday.

      Taylor is going to double down on Trumpism. There’s a faction that somehow believes they lost the election because they didn’t do nutty right wing culture wars hard enough.

      Ley is going to be more centrist.

          After their abysmal showing, and given their uncertain future, giving the poison chalice to a woman would be very on brand for the Libs. If it wins some votes they’ll take it, if it doesn’t then they have a license to continue being male, pale, and stale for another decade.

        They’re probably right. There simply are not enough empathetic, moral and not entirely mentally challenged Americans to win through elections. If you want power in America, you have to lean into Third Reich and show the average American you’re just like them (hateful, amoral, hellbound and immature).
