    They think they are the only people who should resist the republicans, and they most certainly act like it to. A very heavy “what are ya gonna do, vote republicans?” vibe pours put of every orifice of the party and their members.

    All while simultaneously preventing and not pursuing reforms that would allow for multiple political parties to exist without a spoiler effect.

    That isn’t democracy, that is a hostage situation. And I for one will never fall for the Stockholm syndrome that has claimed so very many of my fellow countrymen. Yall think you are woke, but you are repeatedly being injected with tranquilizers and kept thinking in the world’s tiniest box.

    Not to mention the “most electable” and “most adult” people in the political process has been defeated repeatedly by a fucking clown show, and their repeated refusal to apply the laws of the land to their republican friends.

    Also the war on drugs is a bipartisan war against the citizens of this country.

    There is more but I get the feeling you’re not really interested in what I think or say.

      Actually, there are other parties in the US. There is the Green Party and the Libertarian Party. Some drugs such as fentanyl are deadly if misused.

        Are you trolling? Technically there exist other parties, but USian election rules (especially FPTP) are mathematically proven to cause such a huge spoiler effect that, even when a big fraction of voters hate both viable parties, electing a single third-party congressman is very unlikely, and electing a third-party president is nearly impossible.

        It is like saying that the Earth is not round, because, strictly speaking, it is slightly bulged.

          Third party candidates can affect an election by drawing off voters. Third party candidates can also present new ideas.
