    People acting like if Biden wins, Trump will magically disappear and another even more insane republican won’t immediately take his place and threaten democracy again.

    I honestly think this is the closest to perfect time for the DNC to split and make a new party. They can easily start with at least 30-40 house members and maybe a few senators. The majority of young voters would probably opt to vote for them.

    Suddenly they’d be forced to do coalitions to keep doing things, and republicans would lose voter base so fast they might even split themselves.

      More like Republicans will all fall in line like they always do and win against a divided left every time.

        Have you seen literally any multi party democracy ever?

          Yes and in many of them when one whole side of the political spectrum is united , the other side loses badly. The American right wing has abysmally low expectations from their politicians and they fall in line anyways. It’ll happen again.
