    I’ll vote for the actual limousine if it has a chance of beating the next MAGA candidate, whether it’s Vance, Trump Jr, or Donald Trump with a fake mustache that fools no one but his voters. (And as long as that limousine wins a contested primary.)

      That’s the issue with the hard right candidates, people keep settling for Republican-lite Dems that don’t address core economic problems because they’re left in comparison, then predictably they lose to far right politicians when their moderate reforms don’t do anything other than provide temporary relief. We need actual left politicians to institute radical structural changes if we ever want to break this cycle. Or a revolution, but given the way this country is going I have no faith that the victors in that would be on the left
