Might end up being a party switch sort of thing, where the Liberal party will lose power and the DSA will replace them as one of the two neoliberal capitalist parties. The liberal “just vote!” worked as a way to vent pent up frustration of the working class for decades, but it is working less and less when the two major parties are increasingly identical and ghoulish. It’s possible they might try and have a vaguely “left wing” party replace the democrats to redirect the working class back into the “just vote” trap again.
Basically like what happened with the Labour/LibDem dynamic under Starmer. Shit, they’re even running the same playbook by screeching about antisemitism. T minus 30 days until we have an NYT article talking about Long Piker.
this happened in the uk during their last election and the party switch – from labor to green in the uk’s case – ended up being in name only. the green party now is becoming okay with the palestinian genocide because of this switch.

It’s way too early to say anything about what the nature of a party switch in the UK is yet. It hasn’t even happened at most levels of government.
