Look. As long as there are only two parties and one of them wants to turn the US into a dictatorship, there is not much more you can do. That’s not a failed lesson. There are many opportunities to act in between elections, but come election time there is none. You can die smug knowing that you were right once you cannot vote or you can live pissed because the less bad alternative still suck hard.
Also, the democratic party has never had the control of congress and presidency for more than two years in a row. Not that I have much hope, but losing 4 elections in a row (two full presidencies) should at least have some impact on the republican party. And that’s without taking into account that women, POC, LGBTQ+, immigrants, … would have a much, much better life even if you maintain the status quo but with the democratic party.
Again, it’s a shitty option, but there is literally no alternative. And focusing on democrats on the opposition and blaming them for shit instead of republicans in government who are actually doing the things is playing into the hands of the republicans, which by the way could remove Trump today from the presidency if they wished, so it’s the whole party’s fault, not Trump’s.
No. What is happening now is blanket criticism of the party, which is does not apply at all however you want to read it. You want to critisize specific politicians for specific actions, go ahead, want to organize primaries to get them out, perfect, want to start movements and pressure groups to change their policies, fantastic. But just saying democrats bad is 100% counterproductive, which has been my point from the start. Again, this is not the democrats are good, but they are significantly less bad than republicans and all actions should go through getting republicans out of there.
No, in fact they are the agressors. And while pro-Israely politics are the same across both parties, the rest of the policies aren’t that close. As I said, they are not good, just much better than the alternative.
So first it’s the wrong time, and when you’re called on it then it’s too generic an action, despite the article citing specific actions by specific senators and representatives. Got it. I know this trick: Next it’ll be the wrong specific criticism, before everyone is racist for criticizing Cory Booker. Been down this book; can you try something new for me for once?
I see. You are happy that Trump won. Also that the democrats lost the senate with Obama and Trump got to appoint 3 Supreme Court justices. You could have started there.
There are only two parties, either you prefer one to win, or you prefer the other or you don’t care about which. There are no more voting options and the booth and it’s preparations are times to be pragmatic.
There are two parties because the electoral system in the US creates an advantage to having two and only two parties. If they change the system, parties will appear. If they don’t, any new party will at best supplant one of the current ones, but it will fall back to two parties anyway.
They will never change the system. It’s as likely as a dictatorship suddenly withering away. It’s not unheard of, but it can take decades. And them guys have nuclear weapons, so basically we’re all fucked until we dismantle america as a country, somehow.
Honestly, our best bet would be to train separatist militias in mexican and canadians.
Not going to deny that. But before they get dismantled, they are wont to blow something up. As a dying breath sort of thing. And that worries me,. so I’d rather the death were peaceful, or at least as much as possible.

See, this is why you’re full of it though. You undercut yourself:
Guess which one applies now. I’ll give you 3 guesses.

Don’t worry too much about it. These people aren’t going to vote anyway. Many of the most vocal aren’t even in the US.
My friend in beyruth died while biden was the pres.
But ofc americans are the real victims, are they not?

Damn bro the 2020 throwback

Vote blue no matter who!
It’s more vote against red, no matter who., really. Sad, but true.
There will only be two parties as long as you keep voting for the same two parties. It aint rocket science
Also that Constitution thing that makes it inevitable.
So, all edgelording aside, it’s going to be the case in two years. And, very probably in six, ten, and fourteen years as well.
Amending The Constitution turns out to be this whole thing.
