Because in 2026, Dem will win back both congress and senate, it's just a normal pattern. Voters never liked any party owns it all.
Two parties keep playing this along the way, except each game are so close these days, it's tiring and boring and hard to advance any agenda when either one is in control.
The system is getting close to deadlock when both sides no longer honor the game rule: "debate before the election, work together after it and just wait for your next turn". Instead it's now about fighting every day, it does not matter who won the election anymore. The end result?
"Nothing Got Done(tm)"
In that sense, it's not because China is doing better, it's because US's internal problem stops itself, and may bring it down.
The parent's prediction is that there won't be a (free) election in 2026.
Hope that helps.
That's why the voting rights bill is Biden's main 2022 agenda item.
do you just mean win elections for decades? That i can sort of believe (or at least comprehend), but wholesale destruction of Democracy? To me, that means canceling elections and the president declaring themself absolute power for life which i just don't see happening. I would expect a military coup before that since the military swears allegiance to the constitution first and then civilian leadership next.
- shredding off what remains of voting rights
- packing courts all over the country, including the SCOTUS with conservative or right-wing judges
- appointing right-wing figures to top positions in DoJ, DoD, and FBI
- cementing the state legislatures authorities to determine the outcome of elections
They can’t seem to find a single thing to unify on.
The Democratic party has a harder time "unifying" because it's more accepting of change, but there is a wide spectrum of tolerance around how much and when people adapt to rapidly changing social and fiscal policies. Ultimately I think there is unification, but there's lag time for everyone to catch up and be on the same wavelength; a lag time of years, sometimes decades. This gives the perception of a disorganized party, but realistically it's more complicated than that.
American democracy collapsed in 1788, when the wealthy forced through a "constitution" that overruled democratic regulation of debt.
I actually think it's more likely that a third party like Andrew Yangs Forward Party emerges and wins an election. A lot of people are sick of two options, and feel alienated in by their own party (both sides)

Also, MSNBC & CNN are not different from Fox News. These are all propaganda networks. I despise them all equally.
At the end of 2022, GOP will win the mid-term elections and have the majority in the house and the senate.
They already have state legislatures effectively under control, and the supreme court is full of conservative judges.
In 2024 Ron De Santos, or another authoritarian candidate, will win the GOP nomination and easily win the election because Mr. Biden is a total loser.
With the supermajority, the GOP will establish an autocracy for decades.
