How likely are we actually thinking it is that the US doesn't hold elections in 2028? (hexbear.net)

I keep hearing various media personalities I like say things along the lines of "If we even have another presidential election... "

Is this just the joke of the month or are people truly thinking it's game over? I don't live in the US so I'm not really familiar with how that would work

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.
