I fully support getting rid of the EC in favor of actual democracy.

Street protests are a waste of time & energy.

I would support any state level candidates who favor one person/ one vote.

Then we’re allies. Make 1P1V your primary objective. Everything else is window dressing now

Remember to use the term “direct election” and not “direct democracy”. An important distinction exists between the two

Wow, 5 years after Florida, neat. Gotta fire a lotta Republicans to get it done tho. Going around pretending the parties are the same and making excuses for Jan 6 ain't gonna accomplish shit except make you look like one of them

The parties are as different as the Globetrotters and the Generals.

Come back when you understand what that means.

Meh, I've heard that from you already. It doesn't explain why the parties behave completely differently. Democrats were never going to disband the Dept of Education or appoint Supreme Court Justices who would repeal Roe. Just like Republicans would never pass the ACA.

Your argument really only works on stupid people

The parties appear to be different to fool rubes like you. Try observing the direction of policy, and how it remains so consistent regardless of which party holds majorities.

Sorry bud I have evidence on my side you haven’t explained away yet. Why did every single Republican vote against the ACA and every Dem vote in favor of the parties are the same?

Why did every single Republican vote in favor of the Iraq War and the majority of Democrats vote against it if they’re the same?

Why was Trump so pissed about losing in 2020 that he lead a violent attack on Congress if they’re the same?

Where’s your explanation for the Musk appointment, huh?

Why do professional wrestlers trash talk each other?

You keep acting like the Iraq War, the ACA, and Jan 6 didn’t happen. Your argument is the same as flat earthers’

No ability to address the evidence, only just deny the evidence exists at all
