Neither faction will win. The coastal elites in finance, technology, and entertainment will decide that their time is better spent trying influencing the Donald Trump regime and the activist scenes which fueled Bernie Sanders' campaign, Black Lives Matter, and the various other recent leftist movements will be driven underground by government repression. The Democratic Party will no longer be relevant in a few years time.


Ayy lmao

A civil war within the Democratic Party isn't inevitable. It is possible, however. It has a lot to do with how the party handles Trump and the GOP's assaults on civil liberties and social welfare programs. If they prove themselves weak and inept, then we could easily see a leftwing populist revolt similar to the Tea Party.

As we saw in the Republican Party, two establishment v. base fights(McCain v. Huckabee, Paul; Romney v. Santorum, Gingrich, Paul) lead to the rise of someone despised by both the establishment and the base. I suspect the Democrats may have their own Trump arise. Maybe Roseanne Barr?

You are operating under the faulty assumption that Democrats are as psychologically malleable as Republicans. I have yet to see evidence that Democrats fall for gold coin scams and other snake oil at the same rate as Republicans.

No, Democrats are perfectly reasonable. They just buy indulgences for their white guilt through "fair trade" coffee or what have you. Don't forget the entire bogus vitamin/nutrition/vague mysticism industry that is sustained only by the liberal base of the Democratic Party.
no no no, only righties buy into horoscopes, the magic healing power of crystals (or copper or magnets (how do they work!?)) and aromatherapy.  Liberals are way too smart to fall for scams dontyaknow.

The bogus vitamin/nutrition industry will likely suffer a blow when Sen. Hatch retires.
