He may be Homo sapien but someone who is that flippant about a genocide that he is currently condoning has forsaken any connection to humanity. I don't see how someone can say "sure you think we've murdered too many of your friends and family but have you considered it's their fault for attempting to fight back against those who have kept them in a concentration camp for decades" and still have any humanity. There is not a single ounce of compassion in that man.

Would you prefer the term malignant psychopath? Or sociopath? Same general outcome in meaning, just more clinical. The way it comes across to me in a context like this, is it's trying to convey how shockingly deceptive and anti-social a person is. It would be a different kind of thing to say "people with white hair are demons" or something. Bill Clinton can choose not to say victim-blaming things, but he can't choose what his natural hair color is.

The US political system is designed to swing back and forth between two right-wing parties. It would be less successful at dividing people and keeping out opposing ideas if only one party won all the time, and they know it.

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."

I don't think the Dems are going anywhere unless the Reps decide to say "fuck it" and openly embrace dictatorship. It's just too valuable to the system as a whole to have two options, or at least the appearance of two options, for people to squabble over. With a single party that's a single point to lay all your grievances on and a single entity to blame.

Both parties have the same ultimate goal of catering to the bourgeoisie but it's incrediblely valuable to have the optics of wider support.

they have a good chance in my opinion in 2028, especialy because the GOP will not be able to fix any of the economy

They absolutely will win again, probably as soon as four years from now when the vast majority of Americans will have forgotten the Democrats' failures and the atrocities that the Democrats supported (if they ever even cared about those), while the atrocities that the Republicans will have supported and them equally failing to improve the material situation of the majority of people will be fresh in their minds.

As things will get worse and worse people will always blame whoever is in power and will choose the other side. The only question is how long can the ruling class can keep this shell game going, and my guess is quite long. People have short political memories and always want to delude themselves into thinking that this time it will be different.
