15. In the sense that the whining inside source is no use at all, yes, that indicates we're fucked

They are whining that the Democratic party doesn't have room for center-right politicians. Well, no; they're at liberty to vote for Democrats, but Trump being a declining crook shouldn't mean "the Democrats should shift to the right to allow for this". This source whines that there's no one for them to talk to - bollocks, The Bulwark would do fine. Liz Cheney didn't whine - she spoke out. And the source says they'd refuse to vote for AOC. Well, if AOC is the solution that Democrats decide upon, then anyone who worries about the country should get behind her. She is not an extremist, nor is she a crook - and if Republicans are only going to whine to sympathetic journalists, then the likely next Republican candidate will be both, because that's what MAGA seems to admire. If this source wants to stop that as a choice, they have to organize to get a non-Trump Republican as their next candidate.
