Because of the numbers, I think the Dems losing the Senate isn't a done deal just yet. When the Dems were fighting for more seats in 2018, they actually lost two seats even though the Repubs got blasted in the House. My guess is, the Dems will hang on through sheer numbers in the Senate but the House is gone for sure.
As far as the two party system goes, Thomas Jefferson had once suggested that maybe we shouldn't have political parties at all (He would ultimately become a Democrat-Republican). Could a system where we had no parties work in the real world? In other words, our elected officials would be able to vote his conscience, or in the interests of his/her constituents without any party pressure. Or would it just be a de facto one party system anyway? Food for thought.
