No. Literally, the last thing a political scientist is going to tell you is that we should have no parties.
We need MORE parties & STRONGER parties. We are where we are because we only have two parties & one of them totally collapsed in its job of screening out fascists.

The complete double standard for the two parties is so damn tiring and predictable.
Hey remember when after the 2024 election the media and pundits said "Republicans didn't win, Democrats lost?"

With the election over, bot activity is going to pivot from sowing division between the parties to sowing division among people who voted Democratic.

Abrams' strength seems to be statewide organizing of moribund state parties and that's an incredibly valuable talent to possess.
Tbc DPG blamed Abrams for 2022 (an unwinnable race) and pushed her and all Abrams Dems aside leaving a vacuum in the party which allowed Ossoff to become kingmaker and handpicked Charlie Bailey to lead the DPG and they both massively mishandled the opportunity
While Abrams helped flip Mississippi
