Since you asked…
Sure. They both benefit from the same situation. Both benefit from the weird electoral system the states have and they both benefit by being one of only two parties. Infact they are almost completely dependent on each other. Once Republican Democrat politicians realized they could get elected by getting people afraid of the opposition instead of excited for their candidate they’ve had this country voting for the lesser of two evils ever since. 🤷
Both options suck, but the Democrats are slightly better than the Republicans. They both get paid by the same people and they both push forward the same agenda. For example, probably the most left-wing policy we’ve had come out of our countries. Federal government in a long time is Obamacare. But Obamacare was actually thought up by a right-wing think tank called the heritage foundation. It’s a Republican idea that works as bad as other Republican ideas but because it was put forward by a Democrat because who’s going to defend it? The real solution is single-payer universal healthcare like any other non-backwards ass country has. But the Democrats being controlled opposition put Obamacare there instead.
Hope that helps you understand where other people are coming from. 👈😎 I find the short form memes like that used to strip away. Nuance and “trigger” those who disagree with you to be a very trumpet esque style of memeing.
You see the problem is that in a system where you only get two choices, you don’t get to say both choices suck, because that is literarily helping the shitter side.
If you want to fix the system I’m all for it, but today, here, now, we are required to make a choice and the choice is crystal clear, one side is infinitely better than the other.
It’s not close, it’s not they both are not perfect, this shitty system we have requires us, as adults to vote for one or the other and the Republicans are batshit insane people that literally want to kill women and queer people.
This is not a matter of coke VS Pepsi, this is a brocoli VS steaming diarrhea.
I’m not going to vote for Trump. If my state were a swing state, I’d vote for Biden. I’m going to work on getting us a third option with my vote since im not in a swing state.
!you don’t get to say both choices suck,!<
What’s the point of this whole democracy thing if I can’t even say my piece? Like what are we defending if we’re just going to get in line and shut up anyway?
Anyways the two parties are still basically the same. We deserve an actual left wing party.
This isn’t true. Off the top of my head I can think of at least two democrats who’ve been sentenced to prison. I vote democratic party 99% of the time and I don’t disagree with the premise but I don’t want like-minded folks going around with bad info
Both parties are capitalist and support First Past the Post voting in the states they control.
Of course there are differences, don’t you want more differences?
Think the Republicans getting control in government is a existential threat? Then you should be open to using every and any tool available to fight this from becoming reality. That means taking a big gulp, and considering that perhaps the democrats don’t have what it takes to take on the Republicans.
So democrats need backup! They need help out there on that debate stage to fight Trump. We need to bring in outside perspectives with fresh ideas in the form of more viable political parties in the voting booth.
This means we must do away with First Past The Post voting in each and every state in democratic control. Republican ones as well, but at the very least they have an excuse as to why they use a mathematically flawed voting system that doesn’t represent everyone. What is the excuse blue states?
Time to set aside your pride democrats. Perhaps you really aren’t the future in the USA. You do want a future in the United States of America right? Would you be willing to risk your beloved democratic party not being relevant any longer to save this nation? I’d say, thats going to happen either way. Either the Republicans win it all, or we find a way around this massive blue roadblock of a political party.
So you may as well do the right thing, and implement Ranked Choice voting in your state before the door hits you on the ass on your way out.
Political parties are not the USA, the people are. We can set ourselves free with state level electoral reform. Now.
The meaning is clear. Dems only have 3 short years in which to rack up a fuckload of crimes, if they want to beat the GOP.
But Hunter biden had a gun, that should count against them - NRA spokesperson, probably.
