The more openly socialists candidates are winning D seats. The Blue wall is headed for default Trump is getting the populist vote. The big question is whether the Ds will become a regional party and the DINO/RINO wings will unite to fight the populist/Capitalists?
Clearly the Democratic Party is rejecting moderation for a continued swing to the ever-more-extreme far Left. This will only further polarize the base into a radicalized group of minority groups for socialists, communists, antifa, BLM, and every gay, hippy, weirdo out there. That's bad news for both the party and the nation.
But the Republicans are similarly torn and the old guard GOP has all but been shown the door. Those diehards have milked it for all it's worth and half the party is being usurped by Trump Populists while the other half are RINOs. That is bad news both for the party and the nation.
But these trends are also reflected around the world, so it is NOT a local thing, a national thing nor a "Trump" thing.
What this leaves us is the moderates who don't have any strong convictions, the libertarians, the green party, and none of these have any identity at all. The GOP is a party led by a populist that many don't like as a person even if they believe in what he does, along with a dozen or so other good people who unfortunately conform to a now-dead post-modern republican image (the Dole/McCain/Bush/Romney sticks in the mud), while the Democrats are like the movie industry looking for yet another remake of a 1970's sitcom or comic book; someone in their 80s they can dig up from the grave and re-purpose, plaster with a new face of make-up, reword a few of the same old tired lines, wind up and send out there once again as a talking suit making the same tired promises.
Unfortunately, voters new and old have been so burned, so chafed, so disenchanted by 8 years of Bush, 8 years of Clinton, and 8 years of Obama they are no longer buying what the GOP used to sell and apparently all the DNC ever has or will ever be willing to sell.
