    This. The GOP has lost something like 12 out of their last 10 special elections. If demographics have their way, there is a decent chance the GOP won’t even be a national party by 2028.

      Oh stop!

      I am so damn sick of hearing about how the Republican party is dead or dying. People have been claiming this for literally decades now and seemingly every time you think you can count them out, they come back stronger than ever.

      I would love to see it happen, but it isn’t happening, and to a large degree it is because the Democratic party is sooooo bad at selling their ideas to people and connecting with voters.

        Agreed, first pass the post voting ensures a biparty system, full stop. It’ll always be close, too many disparate groups of many sides that splinter, coalesce, engage/disengage to create the 2 parties. The Overton window can move however.
