What if Donald Trump ran for president in 2028? The powers that be can keep this going since its a win-win. Vote for establishment Democrats who are leaning more right or vote for a fascist who will move the needle overnight.
He won't be. They can barely prop him up now. He's in worse shape than Biden, and frankly I think he was in worse shape than Biden when Biden dropped out.
I'm not convinced he'll be able to keep his body alive until 2028, if all (or even most of) the stories about how he treats it are true.
Anyhow, my sentence you are primarily responding to should have been this:
If the net effect of a Kamala first term is to pull the party to the right (as is currently tracking) then no, I'll be one of the people getting yelled at online for refusing to give her my vote for a second term. That's an outcome she is entirely capable of avoiding.
