It's what I suppose both the 'left' and 'right' call "lib shit". It's at the heart of what's gotten me very confused politically: I'm probably proper left, but find myself oddly sympathetic of the the pretty bad part of what is called 'right'. So which am I, 'politically realistic' and as a result 'a lib', or do I just want to simultaneously tune out and 'fuck shit up' and feel both guilty and apathetic about /that/ too. There are only so many turtles I can go down a day.
Trump's impact on the RNC seems to have checked if not eliminated the neocons (we'll see if that holds or expands).
Many hoped Sanders could have done the same with the DNC — shifted it away from neoliberalism - but it may take a few more losses (which, who knows, may never come).
This is some next level theater. It's almost like the goal is to distract from the actual problems by solving for something else and blowing smoke. If this is what makes you feel like you've done something, perhaps look inward and figure out why you're not doing something more substantial.
