ya, election reform, weakening of the security state, and a total loss of momentum is going to absolutely cannibalize even their increasingly diminishing returns.  if they don't completely reinvent their platform, which they seem unwilling and incapable of doing, it's only going to get worse from here. alot of them have destroyed their credibility and public trust, and this loss is only going to awaken their own base. a lot of whom only follow along because they assume it's the dominant opinion. not to mention their control of information flow is basically gone. the electorate only gets older from here, and even less people will watch cnn by 2028. most of their politicians are incapable of unfriendly interviews and this isn't going to get better the first time they try to reach back out. which they have too.  they have to reinvent themselves, but i don't think they will by 2028 at least.
