In case you, an ordinary and so not rich American, thought there might be a serious alternative to
voting for the Democrats in the future, within your lifetime.
If you vote at all, that is.
And if you normally vote for that candidate of the two offered by the major parties whom you would - or should, if you have an ounce of concern for your own interests or those of others like you - actually prefer to win the election and serve the term.

Nope.
Not even for dogcatcher.
The Republicans are getting more rather than less deeply

No way.
