      Why should voters support a party whose interests are anathema to most people, even their own base? Genuine question.

        This is the beauty of two party system.

        In Italy at the time of Berlusconi (interesting guy, very similar to another powerful guy of today), there was a two party system… and these conversations happened.

        The situation got unblocked when another major left leaning party emerged… for then now having a neo fascist in power… so things are not so easy anyway

      God the entitlement of democrat fetishist is just insufferable. Democrats are not entitled to votes, they have to earn them. Rather than criticising voters for apathy from a system that has given them nothing why not criticise democrats for their failures to convince voters to vote for them with popular policies.

        I am not a democrat (or even American) but I just leave here a saying from my hometown “today for spite on my wife, I cut my dick”

        Sure, keep in punishing democrats by submitting yourself to suffering… I am sure they will feel it for you…. Politicians are excluded from suffering anyway
