You may disagree, but IMO Trump has taken the repubs in a Libertarian direction.But being a single political party state is very bad for America.
Which more centrist 3rd party will now rise to replace the Democrats? I'd rather it be some new form of the TEA party, perhaps the Libertarians, I really don't want it to be the Greens. Nor do I want some new Latino Ethnocentric Party. I shudder at the aspect of an American Morena Party.

What will the Dems do without Trump to run against in 2028? They have been the party of White Man Bad. I assume they will continue with that.
Ever since I could vote, I viewed the repubs as democrat lite.I agree. Trump is anything but an establishment Republican! And he is far more Libertarian than say McConnell and crew. Trump has moved the GOP to the center!
The old Establishment GOP was weak and sick. The proof of how bad the GOP was, can be found in how Extremely Radical Leftie Bad the Democrats had been allowed to become! The Democrats went off the cliff into Corrupt Left-Extremist Death, because they lacked a good opposition GOP!
The Democrats were able to kill themselves, because the GOP was weak.
Even if Trump and his era / administration were absolutely perfect, we would still need a viable, opposition political party, to KEEP the new GOP honest, effective, and adaptive.
Excellence needs Opposition!
I don't want the corrupt, defunct, Democratic Party in any way, but as it dies, the GOP needs a new party to take its place, for the sake of the health of the GOP!
Yin and Yang work together to keep the wheel of life turning!

The Dems controlled both chambers for 40 years, except the Senate for 2.
While I understand the "opposition" theory, we still have checks and balances without parties, and we still have primaries where we can judge people as individuals. The opposition that will keep us sharp is foreign entities.
The Dems still have plenty of power and voters. The repubs survived out of power form '52 to '92. The Dems kept their old Slave name and survived. 2026 will give us more info.And rogues, independents, and individuals have their moments and functions too.
But the Democrats, as a political party and brand, have gone so silly, extreme far to the Left, and corruption, that they are permanently toxic and defunct.
The Democratic Party is Dead. So we need a new 2nd major political party.

As you know, Pres. Washington did not believe in parties, he believed in judging individuals.
Do you have any suggestions as to what their new messaging should be? I don't.
Do any JPP libs think the party needs to change its platforms?
I don't want the Democrats to survive, I want them to be replaced.

The socialist Bernie Sanders seems to be their strongest contender.I don't want the Democrats to survive, I want them to be replaced.

Even their own senator, Sen. Fetterman says the Democratic Party is toxic.And rogues, independents, and individuals have their moments and functions too.

Neither, it will evolve like normal…. The Republicans burned out about 10 years ago.As the DNC demonstrated over the course of the State of the Union Address, Democrats don't stand for anything good. They love Ukraine but HATE America. That mindset is not sustainable, yet nobody can change it.
How will the DNC go away?

Down the toilet drain.Neither, it will evolve like normal…. The Republicans burned out about 10 years ago.
Agreed ... but in a classical libertarian way, not in the modern libertarian way.You may disagree, but IMO Trump has taken the repubs in a Libertarian direction.
They'll be running against Vance, possibly against a Vance-Gabbard ticket.What will the Dems do without Trump to run against in 2028?
Yes, it will be "white Vance bad" and "Gabbard is a traitor to women."They have been the party of White Man Bad. I assume they will continue with that.
... not while its bleeding out.Neither, it will evolve like normal…
I don't know if you've been keeping up on current events, but the Republican party controls the House, the Senate and the White House.The Republicans burned out about 10 years ago.
They are Republicans in name only compared to 10 years ago, same name very different party.... not while its bleeding out.
I don't know if you've been keeping up on current events, but the Republican party controls the House, the Senate and the White House.
