(5,969 posts)92. The mythical status quo again...absolute nonsense
One group is filling this thread and forum with the same old buzzwords and they don't realize how empty those buzzwords are.
If by status quo you mean actual Dems who prefer not to burn the country to the ground, that status quo didn't give us Trump, it fought him while the "woke" revolutionists sulked and either stayed home or voted for one of the Putin puppets.
And concerning the danger of another Trump like candidate, the Dems consolidated around one actual Dem also in order to prevent one divisive candidate who is close to Trump in his tactics and empty promises. One who behaves similarly towards the press and one who creates scapegoats and imagined enemies.
