The Democrats will now control the federal House and the Senate

The Democrats will control the Electoral College and the presidency

Gerrymandering will not help the Republicans

Heck, at the State-level, I wonder whether any Republican will win.

America's future is a choice between AOC and Biden.

Why do I predict this?

Because this is how Europeans and Canadians vote.

IOW, this is how American Leftists want people to vote.

Is this a bad thing for the Western world?

Dunno.

In addition, Democrats have created their own voting turn out system.

In the past, getting people to vote was an insane one-day sprint. Now, it is a logistic marathon - getting various people to sign on various days.

In the Leftist Democratic Activist mindframe, the activist is merely doing what the person should have done/voted for anyway.

Collecting and completing a ballot on behalf of a homeless person is merely doing what the person should do anyway.

Not sure what you're talking about. Republicans certainly seen poised to win the house. 

And Democrats control all three RIGHT NOW, for this election cycle, and Republicans are still winning seats and half the legislature. So seems like a pretty bizarre prediction.

Barely, in a year when the Republicans should have done better.

1. The Democrats have discovered kryptonite. Early mail-in voting. Now, they have time to meet people, sign them up, vote on their behalf.

1a. In the past, Democrats had to do this in one day or two.

1b. Look at voter turn out. It's a peculiar feature of US elections - although I suspect the NPD and QS -urban parties- have clued in. 

2. The Democrats offer free money. In Canada, about 35% of voters pay no tax. Any discussion of tax changes is irrelevant to these people. But they listen to any mention of benefit.

2a. In America, some poor people care about your country, republic. In Canada and Europe, poor people don't care.

Democracy was always a crapshoot. You throw a bunch of balls into a bottle, and then you pick one.

If the bottle has more balls of one colour, more likely to win.

We choose our leaders randomly - with bias.

Buy off a politician? I frankly have no objection.

Let me give an example: How much would it cost to pay Putin to stop his invasion of Ukraine?

I prefer politicians that can be bought,

Can you provide evidence of the voter fraud which you’re alleging?

Democracy? A civilised society? A functioning State?

Here's my simple criteria:

Does the State power change hands by death, choice or bloodshed? Or voluntarily between opponents.

In 2000, Yeltsin chose Putin.

In 1800, Adams gave up power to Jefferson.

America is stronger.

Seeing as how Republicans are likely gaining control of House, I’d say you’re dead wrong. And Joe Manchin is a Republican who single handedly torpedoed most of Biden’s agenda.
