I have two concerns.

One is that if Harris is elected, it will be with enough Congressional power to cement the authoritarian domestic agenda of the federal bureaucracy.

The other is that the combination of military unpreparedness and feckless international policy will result in China dominating the Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. And maybe South America.

I would argue they are in just as much trouble if Trump wins. There is going to be a lot of blame going around and the fracture line between the corporate Democrats, the old anti corporate and anti war left, Bush neocons who jumped ship from Trump, the identity politics activist left, and the old working class labor guys is going to come to a head. Remember, the Republican Party has been dealing with an internal war as a result of the current realignment. The Democrats have so far kicked the can down the road enough to avoid any big fights and that might make them worse in the long run.
