> Trump cannot run for a third term due to the 22nd amendment to the constitution

Given he started a riot to interrupt congressional proceedings and tried to insert fake electors in 2021, I don't have much hope that he won't try something in 2028.

> there’s nothing left for voters to vote on

Oh really, so MAGA will just disappear in 2028? The point is to expose the incompetence and the harm that hiring loyalists over qualified people introduces.

> Maybe campaigning on making America Great Again or putting America first will work better.

I don't think populism is a good strategy, personally. It always devolves into a "us vs them" tribalism battle, where you're going against the "elite" but the "elite" is a moving target and not set in stone. Lots of conspiracies arise and you're less effective as a bloc.

> One reason the democrats lost this election because they didn’t even care about their own American people

What specifically do you think showed that they didn't care? Incumbents lost globally due to inflation from COVID and the voter population misplacing the blame. I think Dems could have done better before the election (e.g. Joe should've dropped out sooner) but to say that they lost on policy is a bit asinine.
