Sure, but the trouble is that's not working so well either these days. Kamala Harris would have been muted and memory-holed post-2024 election if that principle was actually in play, but they still let her walk and talk like she's got a shot at high office again.
All the superdelegates in the world aren't going to stop people from being delusional. And Kamala Harris got routed in 2024 and couldn't even get to Iowa in 2020, having to hitch her wagon to Dementia Joe.

Come 2028, as soon as she actually opens her mouth to speak, her political ambitions will be dead
 
I don't think we're winning at all. Everything's mostly the same as it was before Trump got elected. They're still a fucktillion browns anywhere you go, the cost of living is still expensive as fuck, woke is still in full force, nogs murder women in broad daylight and get 1 second of prison time and a $50 fine, etc.

The only thing that's changed from when Biden was in office is that we're not getting raped as hard, for now. And they'll more than make up for that once a dem gets elected again now that they've gone full mask off in being bloodthirsty commies. It's seeming more and more likely as nothing is getting done while there's 0 energy at all on the right.

I feel like what happened in Hungary is what's going to happen here in 2028. Some guy from the DNC is going to come out of nowhere posing as a moderate, get elected overwhelmingly because the last guy did nothing, Trump will give up power and then he'll undo what little Trump has done and hammer the final nail in the coffin of this country. I just feel like whatever energy there was at the start of his presidency has entirely vanished and that "cultural shift" has already shifted back on track, said track being off a cliff 50 miles to the left.
Close enough welcome back Joy Jay

That would be accurate if democrats had normal primaries instead of bending their will to privately anoint a candidate entirely within the DNC apparatus

But let’s see, in 2016 they told the Bernie bros to fuck off and handed it to Hillary, in 2020 everyone except Biden dropped out before Super Tuesday, and in 2024 they just nakedly swapped in with no transparent process

Yeah but they won't anoint her. The donors lost way too much money on her to make that mistake again. They're more likely to go for Patrick Bateman because he's more connected (being Pelosi's nephew) and because he's a straight white male and, for all their virtue signalling, they will stand behind a straight white male if they can use him to grift their way to power and prosperity (see: Joe Biden).
 
To be fair, most young people are vaguely aware that the dollar is essentially backed by nothing but the Emporers Clothes and expect any savings to become worthless the moment people realize that said clothes don’t actually exist.
So you put your money into assets that aren't dollars, then when it's time to liquidate you get the value in then-current dollars, so as long as you're actually investing and not just parking the money in a bank it's a non-issue.
We are already seeing rapid inflation where the price of everything has doubled several times while growing up, and a savings account where you might get 5-10% interest seems like a losing proposition when you can make better use of the money elsewhere.
Between 1990 and today (assuming early millennial with some lag before becoming aware of prices and such), the cumulative inflation rate has been 156.4%, so doubled more than once but way less than twice. For zoomers (assuming start date of 2005), the rate would be 71.6%, so not even doubled.

At 10% interest your money doubles every 7.2 years, you innumerate knuckle-dragger. That is the sort of rate of return people dream of getting consistently, and would far outpace inflation.

You've really earned that pink triangle.
