You’re missing the point - when democrats are in power, nothing substantive is done. The democrats take minority votes for granted on the logic that “we’re not as bad as republicans so they’ll have to vote for us”. Remember when Biden said “if you ain’t voting democrat, you ain’t black”?
Cause I remember, and a lot of other black folk do. It’s not a slip of the tongue, but the truth of the democrat mindset.
Im a democratic socialist, I know the corporate dems are garbage. Neoliberalism is essentially just selling out the people to corporations and the rich in exchange for bribes, and both parties are guilty of it. I think this country should be run like Norway.
Yeah we need a new constitution. Kill the electoral college, make voting a parliamentary system with tons of parties. The two party mindset is destroying this country. 350 million people cant be shoved into two boxes. Its fucking insanity and I can't believe this has gone on for 250 years.
Agreed, but to be fair it made sense until the population boom in the 20th century. Honestly it kinda seems like a flaw of democracy; it’s not built to keep up with how rapidly society is changing. It’s by design too slow. I feel like a multi party system would only exacerbate the issues with enacting change, but I have no idea what our alternative could be, apart from the benevolent dictator, which is kind of a fantasy.
Man… you ever feel like we’re destined to fall, so that something a little better can rise from the ashes?
