What efforts by the Dems to address the class war waged by the wealthy? You give that corrupt, corporate run party way too much credit. You must have slept thru the DLC years and the three decades since Bill Clinton started the neoliberal new Dem Party. The reason the Repubs have been winning and that we got Trump was the betrayal of the working class for decades by the Dems. And they are going to lose big time on Tue., and deservedly so, because too many people have caught on to their bullshit game and will either not vote or vote Repub, just to express their reactionary hate and fears of anyone different than them, since they know neither party gives a rat's ass about their economic problems.

Yeah. It's already begun.

It won't be a civil war like that. It'll be more like urban terrorism, especially if the angry Left decides to fight fire with fire, violently, having seen the corrupt US political system finally unravel and all its pretentions of a faux democracy with the authoritarian Right imposing its rule. Congratulations, you'd have finally become a Star Wars film in real life. Not pretty.

“Seven Days …” is a favorite book/film of mine!

Our current predicament, however, has made me revisit history — about another sort of conflict: The English Civil War. Also a clash between authoritarian and more democratic visions of government, and not as regional in nature as the U.S. Civil War. Some interesting parallels.
