Not very, sham elections would be better for them than no elections. The illusion of choice is important
So no change then
Not at least until the boomers die off and millenials "retire" if that's such a thing around 2040.
In time for the EU to be MIC 2.0 and WW3 to kick off to excuse actually doing anything for the people.
yeah more likely.
They'll just do what they did last time: have democrats run an awkward, uncharismatic loser that only pushes back on leftists while swinging the door wide open for chuds. And of course treat 3rd party options like you're throwing away your vote (while not ever addressing how that means their precious democracy is actually pretty worthless).
It's not technically a sham election if the opposition cares more about the status quo than winning.
