    Good; while I don’t really like when the DNC features Republicans (like they did in 2020), I still fantasize about enough OG republicans leaving the GOP that it has to finally confront it’s problems (like if they lost Texas, lol).

    It simply isn’t healthy having only one viable party, though, and while I’d prefer many viable third party options, at least having a second party that isn’t a complete shit show would be nice.

      In order to go back to having two decent parties at this point, I think the Republican party needs to die.

      So it really would be good if any remaining Republicans that follow the principle of ‘even evil has standards’ would openly join the Democrats. Then a couple elections go by as most remaining Republican offices are taken by Democrats, then the Democratic party splits.

      Not the best possible outcome, but probably top ten as far as potentially realistic ones goes.

        Yes, that’s exactly what I think too. I’m not sure if that’s going to work either, but all this is wishful thinking anyway. An easier path is probably just rank choice voting but I also don’t see Congress doing that (be enough just to do away with electoral college and they can’t even do that).
