I hear too much focus on demographic shifts as well when, really, the shift could happen much more visibly now if the impetus and outreach were active and not just waiting for that mystical time to come. I also hear far too often that "both parties are becoming more extreme/polarized" from people with a straight face when I can't imagine in my most hopeful of dreams that being the case for Democrats at all, and I know this is just preaching to the converted here. Wanting to cut food stamps, just less than Republicans, is the most obvious instance. There's no expansion of abortion access or even a remotely comparable counter current to the death by a thousand cuts being implemented by republican legislatures across the country. Gay marriage, the one seeming social victory in sight, had a tepid as gently caress executive endorsement and really only after the tide was already moving in its favor in public opinion/judicially and it was only because of Biden's outspokenness that necessitated Obama to speak up in turn. Not wanting the economy to explode and the government to shut down from not raising the debt ceiling is basically communism, clearly. Democrats have a monopoly on the center and if that's what people are considering the extreme left at this point I am really, really not drinking enough.

Hillary is Brienne, Palin is Cersei. And Biden is Bronn.
