      I hope so. We need a surge in anti-GOP voting to clean house all the way from the House and Senate down to the local school boards. GOP toxicity is harming people at every level. They need to be kicked out of office and relegated to the trash heap of history.

        Yeah if we can vote these regressives into irrelevance we can then start working on voting the neoliberals into irrelevance and hopefully get meaningful election reform done

          This is the dream! Curbstomp the Trumpletons and then start dragging the overton window back to the left so that humane and sane policy starts to seem plausible again to the common American.

            If demographics and voting patterns hold out when the boomers are gone the millennials may just do that, especially if Gen Z helps

      Speaking completely out of my ass, I think mail-in ballots would do wonders for down ballot engagement. My state has this, and it’s invaluable — often there are weird down ballot measures which are confusingly worded, and sometimes local elections have a “vote for 10 candidates out of the 34 who are running.” Voting at home means I can tackle it at my leisure — no memorization or cheat sheets required.

        It’s actually one of the main reasons why I love mail-in voting.

        And it’s exactly the reason why Republicans largely don’t want it. Doing “research” is antithetical to the Republican party.
