Yeah, my fantasy is that the Republican Party is over, we completely overhaul our voting system to eliminate the electoral college and do ranked choice. That's the only way we're ever going to have viable third parties instead of showboating election spoilers for edgelords.
If we are stuck with two for a while, though, the Democrats should be the right wing and someone else takes the left. I almost don't care who, as long as they're actually kind of left.
Or break up the country. We're too damned big anyway. Maybe we could be a union like Europe or something, but the more I think about it, the more I think the whole concept of the US is kind of stupid anyway. I dunno, though. I haven't thought this through really beyond, "Guh, this is stupid anyway."

I'm sure most of us can remember when the Republicans were the Conservative party, instead of the Batshit Crazy Party.
That was before the ascension of Ronnie Ray-Gun.
