You know what? Neoliberal democracy is dead, but there’s still a chance for liberal democratic values to rise again. I’ve been seeing some real anger from the libs since Petti. Real fucking hardcore anger from people who, before, I’d dismissed as asleep, willing to hide instead of fight.
It’s like seeing an accountant dad lose his shit and pick up a big old tree branch, shouting in rage, when some asshole punches his kid. I hope it’s not theater, and I hope it does not get catharsis from meaningless wins like Bovino.
The Democrat leadership is lost, but with enough anger, real liberal believers could just go in and hollow it out and wear the old party like a skin suit.
