Short answer: No.

Is the plan going to be to attempt to attract the mythical swing-voters and "independents" by moving rightward and ultimately losing by foisting a corporate dem on an electorate that wants something else (again)???

I mean, undecided voters makes up .00001% of the voter base! Absolutely integral to democrat success.

Lemme guess:

"We need to heal and move on as a country, and put all this darkness behind us 🥺"

And nothing will fundamentally change.

Voters need to turn out in full force to get these milquetoast mealy-mouths out of power.

Their last ‘plan’ was Obama, which one could argue was a way to invigorate racist middle America. “U better do sometin’, now we have a BLACK president”

The one before is in the Epstein Files and coerced an intern to blow him. He happens to be married to the one who doesn’t care about hubbies perversion because she wanted to go into politics so she could ‘lose’ and install the Russian Manchurian candidate.

TLDR; this is their plan. Trump is Emperor of a dying nation. He will not leave office. Dems are controlled opposition. If after Sander’s kneecapping people still think this will work, I don’t know.

It’s not a 2 party system, it’s a dynasty on its dying bed.

If dems did any real opposition, they would be declared a terrorist organisation and outlawed.

Last time the plan was to let popular old man run for president despite his cancer. Can't wait to see what they'll come up with next.
