I was wondering this for a while but I thought about what happened with that party and why are they're in the shape their on now. From what I gathered it seems like there was a lack of an cohesive ideology and that Im guessing they were pushing things too far to the left that voters from both side were over it. Only reason I care to ask is out of curiousity because I found it fasnicating to see a party get dogwalked and they're just in shambles. Sometimes if this a sign that we're gonna end up a one party system. who knows.

They've always been about the 'humane' form of money laundering through government sanctions, and then overextending identity issues for the other team to rebut. US politics is about capital control not the people who reside here

It’s a winner take all system, they’re the minority party in the house and the senate and the republicans have the presidency… and also the Supreme Court even though the constitution says it’s supposed to be impartial in theory… in reality it’s not. They’re actually not really that far behind the republicans though, it’s almost a 50/50 split, it could change the other way around in 2026 pretty easily. Apparently being the minority helps parties more than being the majority, because if anything goes wrong when you’re the minority party, it’s not your fault, so the minority party can always start complaining about the majority parties mistakes and win that way.

Do you see that happening based on current events? I imagine the republicans arent slow in that theres very well a chance they can could lose some seats so they probably have contingencies in place. the voters are still gonna vote red if not because MAGA but more of maintaining momentum and not let the minority have any real influence.

Honestly, I don’t really care. I’m planning on leaving around 2026 anyway. It doesn’t really matter who wins, it’s pretty obvious this country is dysfunctional at this point.

That's a pretty good summary of them. Once people who voted started to notice the cracks in their overarching obession with idpol, they started to lose confidence in them. some converted to red and some didnt vote. I don't blame them. they were fed pretty lies but they too partake in sticking their dirty hands in the honey jar.

The democrats have a 20% approval rating, and their campaigning against a man who's unpopular and checks the boxes for fascism.
You make it sound like a slight edge from the Republicans did it, when the Democrats have continued to ignore how insane their platform is received by the average person.

Congress usually has a pretty low approval rating. The republicans have a higher approval rating because they have the White House. But right now the democrats just exist in congress. 20% approval rating doesn’t mean 20% of Americans are democrats though.

Yes, and the first step to reversing that is for the side that keeps losing to change their trajectory. The Republicans have no reason to reform if they keep getting what they want.
