The GOP just swept the nation. All three branches of government. Both houses. Seems to me supporting the Democratic Party made the GOP stronger already. Maybe we need a new party.

You think democrats didn’t get enough votes because they had too much support? That doesn’t make sense.

3rd party is guaranteed to fail with first past the post. But it sounds like you’re arguing in bad faith in favor of the GOP. So maybe that’s what you want.

I’m saying that you’re wasting your time supporting a party that’s incompetent. Don’t support a third party. Destroy the Democratic Party. Below it the fuck up. Let the Democratic party die a brutal death. Start our own party.

That’s the same as saying give the GOP all the power.

They have a slim majority. Giving them more seats in Congress gives them the ability to pass more legislation that would otherwise not have enough votes.

You should learn about how voting in Congress works.

Their majority is overwhelming for what they need it to be. You have far too much faith in the Democrats to block the Trump administration’s movements then they deserve. Half the Democrats cave every time. Partly because half of them are actually okay with people Trump’s going to be a nominating. They want the destruction of the regulatory framework of our nation. They want a return to the Gilded Age. They work for the same people. That’s the reason why Kamala Harris was courting all those techbro billionaires who were all braying to get rid of Lena Khan. It’s going to be much easier for Trump this time. He has an overwhelming majority of the the courts, he has the expanded Powers the presidency, he has a senate majority with only a feckless minority to balance it, he also has more than enough in the house. It’s going to be much much worse.

I’m not sure why you think I’m saying the GOP will get more seats. I’m not saying we split the ticket next time around. I’m saying we destroy the Democratic party to the point they have less of a national impact than the green party has now. If we do that we’ll overwhelm the Republicans. We will win in landslides. A party that’s based on the working class. A party that’s based on actual American needs. A party that can harness the fury of an American people being oppressed by an oligarchic class? That party will be unstoppable. That party will never be the Democratic Party, ever. The Democratic party has aligned itself to become the loyal minority, that’s all they want to be. It’s not enough.
