I would question why anybody would think Democrats will have a landslide in the future, given we are now as far from the LBJ landslide as the Civil War was from the Spanish Flu. They've only had two Presidents who have done so since the Civil War, whereas most Republican Presidents have actually won landslides. I would even question the notion they will ever recapture Obama's level of rural support - they've moved way too far into Bloombergism for that.

Why so amused? Did you pay attention to Hillary's campaign in 2016? Or the 2018 midterms? The idea that "Dems are far-left because AOC said [insert here]!" is nonsense.

Just look at the Dem field today

The one Joe Biden has lead all year and has Kamala Harris as a semi-serious candidate?
