The funniest possible outcome for the 2024 election would be a third party winning. (hexbear.net)

Yeah yeah, it will never happen, but can you imagine how funny it would be? Imagine Dems and GOP flipping out over The Guns and Dope Party winning

You would need an economic downturn, a broad loss of faith in political institutions, a sitting president very unpopular with their own party, and an opposition party with lackluster options of whom no one really stood out, and a popular figure with a lot of name recognition either from the business world or defecting from a major party to pick up the support. It would have to be a mix of what happened in 1920, 1968, 1992, and 2016.
