    There’s no election coming up.

    The spectacle of election is never going away. We literally just had two house special elections at the start of the month.

    We’ve got some pivotal gubernatorial races in November. I’m sure we’ll have more special elections as our existing crop of geriatric politicians die out. Then a bunch of legislative races in '26, etc.

    The spectacle won’t end. We’re going to keep doing the ritual for a long while.

      Yes, mostly meaningless elections. I wouldn’t even expect midterms, let alone the national.
