(we did that in PA by breaking what had been a "traditional" switch of parties each 2-terms (defeating Tom Corbett in 2014, making him a 1-term (R)), and we have had 3 consecutive terms of (D)s so far.

States like AZ, ME, MI, MD & WI were also flipped. We did recently lose MT, NV & VA, although VA is a weird one having only 1-term governors (but it looks like it will probably go blue again).

I think one drawback about the American system is that there is no formal leader of the opposition LiberalLovinLug Sep 29 #15

"In most other democracies, Kamala Harris would have remained the leader of the opposition after the election" BumRushDaShow Sep 29 #18

I'm not sure what you are arguing LiberalLovinLug Sep 29 #19

In the Parliamentary system, they still don't "directly elect" a "leader" like we do BumRushDaShow Sep 29 #21

yes. that is all true LiberalLovinLug Sep 29 #27

"Although after Trump lost in 2020, he was still considered the leader of their party." BumRushDaShow Sep 29 #28
