Who else competes against the DNC that the majority would vote for?

You'd be stuck with one massive party

If they want to win, they need to have actually popular policies.

☝️ The GOP values & strategy have changed over time. They would probably still exist as a party, but they would need to change their approach. Today's GOP is not the party of Lincoln.

Speaking of which, you know that the Republicans didn't always exist, right? But before them, it wasn't just One-party rule by Democrats, the Whig party existed. A first-past -the-post voting system structurally incentivises two-party rule.
