The party may eventually split as they continue moving right while failing to capture voters from the GOP, with some switching sides to avoid backlash, but probably not while they monopolize center-left organizing and fundraising and as long as rank and file Democratic voters blindly prop them up, lured by false promises and fear of Trump. It's also unclear if a third party can compete well enough to replace them under those conditions.
But the tiger isn't going to change his stripes.

Claire, The Ultimate Worrier
In response to this post@gwynnion I think a third party really has a decent chance in the near future if they stay down this path because who will be left to vote for them?
conservatives aren't going to vote for them because they can't compete with the GOP on bigotry and their base is definitely not going to keep voting for them like this
@waitworry @gwynnion
The real fear is that Democrats will decide that with Trumpster's victory, that seals the verdict that only by latching themselves onto the alleged "conservative wave" and becoming even more dependent on billionaires, corporate lobbyists, and "moderate conservative" strategists will they be able to out wait the "extremist" GOP Right and seize power again. Besides, liberals have nowhere else to go and must wait until the pendulum swings back towards "the center", right? /s
