The democrats are going through the same type of metamorphosis as the post-0bama GOP. Ironically, their best bet is to ditch neoliberalism for Trump's populism, but without the bombast. The Trump populist GOP is really like the sane version of the democrat party of old and thankfully the Bush/Clinton era corporate whore/warmonger agenda in the USA seems to have gone by its expiration date.
The neoliberal mantra seems to be "Orange Man Bad", while the left wing fringe of the fringe is "white people are bad and communism is good". The neoliberal and marxist parts of the democrat party will probably be represented in the field of candidates. It's even possible that a sort of softer version of Trump will show up in the field of candidates and maybe win--somebody like a Sherrod Brown. Actually, many centrist people who were pushed to be soft Trump supporters by the Clintons and the far left freakazoids of the blue squad would probably ditch the Trump train for the normalcy of a career politician like that.
If the shitty democrats don't consolidate around a moderate candidate like Brown pretty early on, they'll probably go full on freak-show mode and maybe split into two parties during the campaign season. The longer the far left maniacs are on the stage, the worse the chances are for the blue squad. Abortion rights..... for trans wxmens! It's hard to even imagine how far into the swamp of identity politics bullshit they'll wade.
A worrying and very polarizing aspect of the political landscape is corporate boards and execs injecting their retarded politics into their business. That could eventually lead to a violent confrontation, especially if the banking system gets into it. Another worrying element is that the maniacs who have climbed the spy provided ladders of radicalization on both phony sides are ready to go full ape shit and do mass murders and bombings, which could then touch off retaliatory medieval blood-feud style violence.
