The destruction of the republican party via increased voter and representation rights represents the single greatest possible "progressive" leftward shift of the US political window. Emphasis on "possible". Conservatives are a minority party and their extreme views do not represent modern America.

The road to a more progressive, equitable future is through the democrats. It doesn't end there.

Republicans winning offices means more long lasting legislation to clear, more conservative judicial appointments, etc.

Teaching THIS (2024) democratic party a lesson is worthless if it comes with 30+ years of conservative judicial backsliding.

With election reform we don't need for the Republican party to stop existing to get more viable options in the voting booth.

Very true, my point is the current republican party is trumped up by systemic inertia. They are a minority position.
