1) I actually agree with you on this. Both Democrats and Republicans are moving away from democracy towards one-party states. And I wrote about one-party red governance before, eg here: https://x.com/balajis/status/1711301185494482969

2) That said, even if neither red nor blue states have competitive multiparty *elections*, I do think red is outcompeting blue today at the level of citizen *migrations*[a]. But ultimately we need more than two choices for millions of people, and that's what the next post is about.

[a]: 2021: "In the last decade, 1.3 million more people left California than came in from other states. And, it’s accelerating. Half a million people have left for other states in the last two years alone." https://www.dailybreeze.com/2021/05/02/theres-no-denying-the-california-exodus/
