Kincardine, ON – Local man Allan Terry has expressed his belief that the Democrats need to improve their messaging and policy efforts if they want to win the next Presidential election, charmingly revealing that he thinks there will be another fair and free Presidential election in his lifetime. “Clearly Democrats need to totally reshape their […]
Obviously they’ll run the election Russian-style, as Americans still like to think of themselves as free.
What’s wrong with a one party system? It’s only one less then two! You wouldn’t want to confuse the voters would you? /$
That’s our secret, Cap… they’re always confused.
literally yes. I dont see how having two similar party is different from only having one. Controlled opposition
Why didn’t they just do this in 2018?
Do you think the GOP - and trump’s camp specifically - have gotten more or less extreme/vengeful in the last four years? After the 2020 loss, have they gotten more or less friendly toward the norms of a democratic system of government?
I think I heard this line back in 2004 when Bush beat Kerry. Today is always The Worst and history is always not so bad in hindsight really. But so much of the modern shit show can be traced back to the right-wing gerrymanders from 2005, pushed through under DeLay’s “Permanent Republican Majority” plan alongside his K-Street project.

You cant even talk about this stuff on a lemmy forum anymore without being habara-ed.
A key part of getting democracy back on track needs to be around eliminating corrupting bribes by lobbying groups like AIPAC. until we do that, we wont end up with any sort of democracy.
Wild that anyone would disagree with eliminating lobbyists but there it is.
Its probably bots that downvote any post with the strings ‘hasbara’ or ‘AIPAC’ in it. Forbidden topics in a lot of the west anymore.
