    Honestly, best case scenario is that the Dems get a big enough win that the GoP tears themselves apart trying to pin the blame, and ends up collapsing. Then the Democrat party splits due to some seeing a void, and the US gets a hard shift left with the new right wing party being only marginally more right wing than the Democrat party is now

      My dream scenario was first enough states passing the interstate voting compact by ballot initiative to bring it into effect, immediately followed by adoption of preference voting systems, campaign finance reform, universal mail in voting and electoral holidays.

      But like, I think tribalism and the entrenched systems that benefit from this system would topple the U.S. into autocracy before people could unify enough to make even a fraction of the above happen.
      Notwithstanding, there is currently both massive internal and external pressure to push the U.S. to that point regardless of what is happening, so we’re pretty much fucked six ways from Sunday.

        Yeah, unfortunately the best case scenario I put forth is also a not very likely one
