Wishful thinking, but, with Democrats showing their cards by helping Republicans fund ICE who’ve been terrorizing Minnesota and murdering Americans. I can’t really say for certain that I’m going to be voting for them anymore in the future, their track record of holding corrupt people accountable has been atrocious. Stern wording is not what we want, we want to see impeachments, we want to see stubborness, we want to see actions that side with the people than self-interests.

Yet, that’s what we’re really seeing, is self-interests being practiced. No Democrat is going to own their mistakes either, just like Republicans won’t.

If there’s any other candidate in America who we can vote for, who? Because I’m tired of voting for Democrat who’ve proven that they only govern if it means making themselves look good than helping the public get in shape.

    In England we had a three-party system for many a year. Then the third party (Liberal Democrats) showed their true colours. Then we had two. Now a new third party, Reform, is rising up on a platform of racism. They’re splitting the racist vote. That allowed a fourth party, the Greens, a noteworthy victory in a local by-election.

    I don’t know how it works over there, but what I take away from this is that it wouldn’t have been possible without people who were willing to vote for not a third party, but a fourth party.

      It would be amusing if this actually got the powers that be to consider proportional representation. Better chance of having a say in government if the alternative parties start beating first-past-the-post. One voice that must be listened to is better than shouting impotently from the wrong side of the house.

      having multiple parties prevent anyone to becoming too dominant over a long period of time. which is why putin was pushing the reform to be the dominant one. the “2 party system in the us” is really just one party, or a uniparty of the right wing. thats what AIPACdems are so afraid of, they wont be able grift of wha tthe GOP as opened the door for.
