I am the forecaster of forecasters and not even I would dare a venture at projecting the future of either party. If I was forced, I would have to say I am much more pessimistic on survival of D's simply from the basis that they have history going against them, meaning the historical actions of that party and being in this tech-age, it's only a matter of time before such very ugly history comes into the forefront. It's hard for a party to sell itself as pro-minority when it founded the Klan, I mean come on right. Going all the way back to war of independence, D has stood against all things modern USA stands for, I am personally shocked this info has not already come to the forefront. 

The R has such history to fall back on as Abraham Lincoln and abolishment of slavery, that's a pretty big feather int he cap wouldn't one say. 

Although as i said, who knows, fact's and truths don't seem to play much of a central position anymore. 

What would be AMAZING is not just a strong viable 3rd party, but a 4th, 5th. The problem is the choice today, it's sh#t-sandwich or turd-burger, and that IS the popular vote position. If some viable alternatives arose, the most likely outcome is the death or near death decay of BOTH D & R party, right. 

Most people today don't vote for parties, they vote for results, hopes, solutions, what a person promises. There voting for the results they think that person/group will bring. It's not as it was decades back, people are very comfortable party jumping today, that is generations of gen-x and later, no loyalty to a party just on banner, no, people expect them to deliver. 

And let's be honest, most are not feeling D's are delivering today are they? Nothing is better, arguably everything is worse. It makes minds open to changing up decision process. 

Hey, how awesome would it be if there was NO parties, just people. That's it, just people who get elected on them, there word. And bills were done on it's merit not on the symbol carried by the one delivering it. 

Nothing good comes from a nation divided. 

 Location was an assumption sure but nothing to do with that logic jump. It was the comment about dems disappearing. They will only grow over the next 10-15 years. To me it's not about right or wrong but the data behind it. So the logic leap was because of that comment. If you actually believe dems will be pushed out, I have to make assumptions. 

 My boy? I don't care about him. But you just proved my point. Visit the coasts you'll find entirely different people from Ok / Texas (placed I am a lot and know well). Theres a reason why popular vote keeps trending up. And will continue too for years. one of us does have our head in the sand. I agree. Time will tell who but I don't think it will be me surprised. 

 Funny I hear the same from the left about the right. I'm guessing you are were surprised by 2020 results then?  Well aware of them all. I just don't care about it from either side.. All more of the same. 

 you are looking at just 2-4 year spans. I'm looking at something closer to 8-15 years. The timing has been good for GOP with economy for midterms. I don't believe it will be as red as it should be or that it will last. People are flipping because they are frustrated on economy. They will flip again. Not trying to turn this into a full political discussion but the PA senate race or Georgia Senate race are good examples. 

But sure my reality is wrong :). never mind I don't care who wins because it's all more of the same. 

So yes people are frustrated and yes they will continue to flop. I happen to believe the dems will hold more power in future years because of the frustration. And frankly given the shifts on the popular vote in recent years that trend should be obvious.
