Yes you do. You’re a duopoly dupe.Says you. That's your belief. Not mine. I don't operate according to your beliefs.
Such as?Yes you do. You’re a duopoly dupe.
On nearly all major issues, Don and Joe agree.
All. War, spending, police, education, healthcare, vaccine, homeless, MIC, CIA, Israel, China, Russia, Cuba, Iran, NATO, tax cuts for the rich, unjust justice system, etc….Such as?
Do you have a more detailed argument or are these vague claims all you're working with? How about on accepting the outcomes of elections? Same same on that too? That's a pretty important one. No?All.

Here’s a switch. Get more choice with a single party! In Baltimore City primary day is de facto Election Day, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t choice. There are Democratic clubs all over town, spanning the landscape from conservative to ultra-liberal. At “election” time there aren’t just be two candidates, but often 4-5 from differing political clubs.We’ve heard it here a thousand times…..”stop voting for the duopoly”….“the parties are one and the same”….”there is no difference between the two parties”….etc etc
(Most don’t agree with that at all, most see at least one major difference between the parties.)
I’m sane enough to know that if I stop voting for the dupoly the duopoly will still win….That said, how can I be assured that my effort of ‘not voting’ will eventually pay off as others join in on the Don’t Vote coalition to prevent the duopoly from winning?
I don’t see any number of sane people ever being willing to take the chance. The only way this would work is if all 155 million stopped voting for the duopoly at the exact same time… How do we make that happen….are we just fantasizing?
Oh please, do your own homework.Do you have a more detailed argument or are these vague claims all you're working with? How about on accepting the outcomes of elections? Same same on that too? That's a pretty important one. No?
You should be able to give a better, more detailed explanation for your argument. I told you what I see in detail and you can't even respond to it.Oh please, do your own homework.
It should be apparent to you.
They are not mutually exclusive eventualities.Do parties divide in conquer or does individual want and desire do that?
Even if they were, they are both losers.
How, in a country of 330 million, is this the best we can do ?
But they both seem to agree that government should be dictating social issues. They just wanna dictate different.
I always love it when you plop down your little defeats like this - empty insulting posts that boil down to "I got nuthin'".Have another Newport lit by your Gas stove you dumb OX.

Several people have suggested ranked choice voting.None of you have suggested improvements that are reasonable. Just crazy suggestions to disband the government. Fuck off and start your own party.

So basically what we have now.We would have an executive without a functioning legislative body for up to two years.
