Arguably an open secret at this point. The duopoly is increasingly organized around hyperventilating that the other will destroy civilization, then upon taking power the GOP passes its standard corporate tax cuts, Dems get a middling infrastructure bill, and both largely do the same thing on COVID and foreign policy.

New laws have been passed in Red states to overthrow the will of the state if the state legislature doesn't like the results and will use an transparent "legal" means to tell their electors to vote for rather than who the populace voted for. 2024 could very well be the end of American democracy, yet people here on HN are talking about "both parties are the same"
