Idk tho today's election results look pretty bad for the GOP lol. Just like the midterms did. Its possible that Joe himself will lose the presidency while GOP lose heavily elsewhere though? But like, the GOP is still dealing with a deflated base that got what they wanted in Dobbs and don't care anymore, and continue to run on culture war bullshit that noone actually cares about.

There's also the issue of RFK Jr, who is apparently mostly pulling votes from Trump.

Like yes absolutely 100% the genocide is going to deflate the zoomer vote* that helped Dems out so much in the midterms but I think the GOP is having electoral problems too, not the least of which that they support the Genocide too, which is going to make the whole thing a mess.

*Not to mention the Muslim vote which obviously tanked for good reason, and is a material thing in at least one swing state.

At the risk of entertaining the lib in me, I do think investing in elections is fine for the left if it's done as supplementary. But I'm surprised the People's Party genuinely has gone absolutely nowhere.

Republicans are running on brand loyalty alone, and dems are running on being a reaction to the GOP. I would think the People's Party would try to get one small win in a pretty small state like Rhode Island, make the news or something. While I'm not kidding myself and can safely say that only dems or GOP will be relevant on a federal level, I find that there are small wins to be had at the state and local level, and a breath of fresh air would clown on both parties.
