    In order to go back to having two decent parties at this point, I think the Republican party needs to die.

    So it really would be good if any remaining Republicans that follow the principle of ‘even evil has standards’ would openly join the Democrats. Then a couple elections go by as most remaining Republican offices are taken by Democrats, then the Democratic party splits.

    Not the best possible outcome, but probably top ten as far as potentially realistic ones goes.

      Yes, that’s exactly what I think too. I’m not sure if that’s going to work either, but all this is wishful thinking anyway. An easier path is probably just rank choice voting but I also don’t see Congress doing that (be enough just to do away with electoral college and they can’t even do that).
