Right now I can see two futures.

One where the 2026 election gives the Dems control of both Houses.

The other where the 2026 elections are cancelled for national security reasons.

We've got lib media trying to argue that the 2024 election indicated a rightward shift of the electorate.

It remains to be seen if the dems are just going to keep doubling down on trying to be republicans from the previous election.

The electorate has clearly shifted right. That’s why this time the right side won, whereas last time the left side won. I hope (but am by no means certain ) that a high quality left-wing candidate can help to shift the electorate back to the left.

Is that why quite a few progressive ballot initiatives and referendums also passed?
