It's a kind of codependency.  Eliminating the Blue faction would codify a preference for the private over the public, and keep government small and ineffective -- but no one would care all that much.  Those of us in the downscale section of society would laud our betters for how clever and hardworking they are, and the upscale crowd would feel  comfortable knowing that they deserved every dollar and perk they have.  If Red disappeared, something more akin to true socialism might emerge organically, and we would all be one and happy.

Don't sell everything on the expectation that we're getting there soon, but something like that is inevitable in the long term.  We've been on the way for over 100 years, so it may be longer than either us will be around.

-- l never said l thought we're getting there soon. l said it couldn't come fast enough 4 me. otoh this 4th turning seems 2 stalled. lf it finally gets moving & we come out of it w/healthcare & UBI, that's a start

Fixing the healthcare mess should be easy enough, if the filibuster gets canned.  My big concern is the undying belief on the center-left that comity is still there hiding somewhere.  Sorry to say, it seems to be the reason the Dems can't get things moving anymore.  That wasn't so true in my youth.  They lack fire-in-the-belly, and they'd better get some fast.
