With just four months to go it’s still fully possible that, as anticipated, this could be a watershed year in regard to breaking the grip of the duopoly.

Right now, as the weeks go by, the Democratic Party finds itself more and more in a quandary. They’re in trouble if they don’t quickly resolve the issue of whether or not to run Biden. The later they arrive at a resolution the more likely it will be that their national campaign (presidential and down-ticket) will be in a shambles. Of course that plays to the benefit of the Republicans, but, nonetheless, the discrediting of one establishment party opens doors: “Are those parties really all so inexorable?”

Doubt about it is all we need.

An awful lot of people don’t really like those two parties. An awful lot of people are motivated to cast a negative vote (against “the greater evil”). A crack in the facade could widen pretty quickly.

It was clear months ago that this year could be a watershed in that respect.

Here we are just four months out and that still looks possible.
