Honestly the death of the Republican Party (assuming they don’t manage to take democracy down with them, which still isn’t proven) might be the best thing for real, for real, for America – if the only way they can hold on to any power at all is to switch us to a parliamentary system, that might be the US catapulting into the 1900s in terms of how to do voting right.
RCV I think will destroy them, though. Pretty much all they have left is trying to unify all the crazy people under one tent and voter suppression, at this point. If you knock out one of those pillars then it’s not much left other than “the state legislature can declare whoever it wants the winner, and the secretary of state says who wins the election for state legislature.”
Speaking of voter suppression, if we can deliver a powerful mandate this time, we absolutely need campaign finance reform to reduce the power of money in politics and legislation to protect the right to vote. Biden helped steer the economy back towards stability and made some investments in the future, now electoral reform desperately needs to be the very top priority moving forward. We can’t do shit about shit if the repubs can just walk away with every other election due to their business support and voter suppression.
I hope we don’t get distracted from this, it’s the most critical priority. We also have nothing to lose by playing the hardest hardball possible, since they’re accusing us of great replacement crap in the mainstream now anyway.
