      I think it would guarantee a DNC win for this and maybe the next election cycle. But I would bet that after awhile a 3 party system would spread the electorate out a little more. Maybe like a more left leaning DNC, a more moderate middle of the road party and a further right leaning 3rd party. I personally would like more options. Then again, that might make it easier for the far right to gain power. I don’t know… I’m certainly not an expert when it comes to this stuff. Just thinking out loud.

      The better alternative is for the GOP to gets its act together and start trying to win elections by policy and running stuff by data

      Which sounds great for exactly one election cycle, after that not so much. Power breeds corruption.

      I think it sounds great for more than one election cycle to the trans people being targeted by the GOP’s legislative genocide campaign.

      The better alternative is for the GOP to gets its act together and start trying to win elections by policy

      I mean we’ve seen what happens with that. They’ll cook up another single-voter-issue and choose a minority to attack. That’s their way of “winning with policy”.

      I’d be fine with the DNC winning everything until a 3rd party gets established if it means we can get rid of the GOP as a major political player.
