quote:Except we don’t really even have 2 political parties. It’s been bastardized and corrupted and changed into something else.
Polical parties are functionally binary. Very few places have sustainable 3rd parties.
So we are down to 1 party systems like the USSR, Cuba, China, Nazi Germany. This is what the left in the US is trying to create and the media is in the middle of it. It would be the end of the US.
Two party system has its flaws but is the ying and yang of human nature. Its not perfect but it is the more perfect way. Thank god for it as it is democracy.
And, in its current state, it enables this 49/51 to 51/49 constant pendulum control mechanism.
Imagine what would happen if 60-70%+ of the voting population were in ideological, social, economical, and governance agreement.
Every bill passed and law enforced would actually be to that majority’s true benefit. Career politicians wouldn’t exist. True public servants would. Special interests would have no power or influence. Corporate America wouldn’t be filled with and controlled by monopolies. True competition would permeate. Wealth pooling would be vastly curtailed and perpetual redistribution of wealth would be organic and consistent. Opportunity would be boundless and quality of life for the middle and lower classes would be drastically higher. Resources and money would be managed efficiently, and those who are truly incapable of self-sufficiency would have access to vastly more assistance and charity.
And the list of improvement could go on and on. But the thing that’s holding all this back is the facade that we have 2 separate political parties. But we don’t. We have a control mechanism that “Elites” exploit to prevent us from uniting and taking control back, ending their reign, and doing exactly what I described would happen if we truly had all the power.
We so desperately need a convention of states so we can implement Congressional and judicial term limits, eliminate special interest influence, drastically reform campaign financing, and completely neuter the donor class and government industrial complexes. And then go after the monopolies and oligarchs, audit the Fed, sure up our sovereignty, vastly reduce competition stifling regulations, and greatly overhaul our tax and spending systems.
But this isn’t going to ever happen with how things currently work. And with universal mail-in voting now in existence and an oligarchy in near total control over the future of elections, we are on a path to perpetual feudalism, and ultimately something that very much resembles communism. And it’s going to be a bloody path eventually in the process.

That’s a nice long arse excuse of you trying to completely villainize an entire side of the spectrum sure you shat on the establishment right but of course you fall back on the ole cliche the left is bent on destroying America or whatever bullshite theory you can come up with. Instead of what it actually is the establishment exists on both sides and they’re the real enemy meanwhile many on the right and left are anti establishment but just believe that the country should be run in different ways. Of course people on the left pull this shite too and just like you, convince themselves that they have to be right and anyone who disagrees is the ultimate enemy

Because believe me, I completely understand that some of you are not knowingly bad, you’re simply unwitting sheep with a flawed belief system and some strange inability to recognize actual evil. But still, blissful ignorance doesn’t absolve anyone from guilt. Especially not fricking assholes that ruin everything.

Bro do you fricking hear yourself, all you’re doing is regurgitating the same shite from Tucker or Bill. As much as I rag on the poli posters I don’t think they’re bad people aside from a very select few. This whole thinking of oh you want total a total free market means you hate poor people or that you want more government programs means you’re a commie is weak arse shite people say in lieu of actual arguments.
I’m not an a-hole for wanting shite like the government using the money it collects in ways that actually help people like healthcare instead of bailouts or blowing up some random shithole of a country so we can mine it or take more oil

Nobody gives a flying frick if you’re a good dude or think you’re better. But you really had to make sure you got that out there. Didn’t ya? You need validation, even if it’s just you giving it to yourself.
But you’ll never put your money where your mouth is. You’ll never truly sacrifice your shite to meaningfully “help”. You’ll sacrifice other’s shite, though, and make up reasons why it’s okay.
And please don’t come back espousing all your supposed great virtuous deeds to tell me I’m wrong. The fact you’re sitting there on the internet with a computer or phone and under the roof of an owned home already proves you haven’t actually sacrificed shite towards all the “solutions” you fricking believe in and pat yourself on the back for merely pontificating.
See I know I can only do what’s in my power and control to do, and therefore being tribal is an utterly futile waste of time and effort. I’ll happily tell some GOP sycophant to frick off just as easily as telling you. But one besmirching of the Left, and out comes your virtuous cudgel like a Righty just insulted your mother.
You’re a lame cliche, and everything wrong with our country right now.

Very few places have sustainable 3rd parties.
Very few presidential republics have sustainable third parties. Parliamentary republics, however, almost all have multiple sustainable parties. The U.S. and France are the only major democracies who have a separation of power between the legislature and the executive. The UK, Australia, Canada, Germany, Israel, Japan, and Korea are all parliamentary and have thriving multiple parties.
We will never see a third party in the U.S. because the Presidency represents only one party at a time. As a result, there is a high level of inertia pushing Congressional candidates to affiliate with the President’s party or with the opposition party.
Let’s say that one or a few Libertarians or Greens were elected to Congress. Even if they were able to convince a majority of their fellow Congressional Democrats and Republicans to support a piece of legislation, the President would veto it, assuming the legislation was not aligned with normal Republican or Democratic policies. Consider on the other hand that we had a parliamentary system with no President. Those newly elected third party members would wield real power.
I’m not advocating that we change our system, but for those clamoring for more parties, that would likely require us to fundamentally change our system of government to become a parliament. Or perhaps it could work with ranked-choice voting implemented in every state. There are plenty of people who would rather vote third party, but who end up voting D or R because they don’t want to waste their vote if their jurisdiction crowns the winner by plurality, rather than by majority or majority-runoff.
