    This seems plausible. In political terms it means a decade of see-sawing and gridlock. It'll continue until the Dems have a supermajority that is cohesive enough to make the structural changes needed to break the logjam.https://twitter.com/gelliottmorris/status/1455952873611792387 …

        not if the ability to even have a supermajority will be destroyed long before that

        Do you think that supermajority is ever really possible?

        That seems an overly optimistic evaluation of the Dem's potential capabilities

        But people love voting for cop killing insurrectionists apparently so why would we think that logjam ever breaks?

        that seems to be making a *lot* of assumptions about the (metaphorical) center’s ability to hold in the face of ongoing crises that are being ignored or exacerbated by non-functional governance, R’s not making structural changes of their own, and D’s capacity for reform/coherence
