    The problem is a large percentage of Repugnantcans don’t vote for anything. They vote against, with no regard to who or what their votes are going to. They would vote for a microwaved dogshit on toasted Wonder Bread if it meant “oWnInG tHa LiBz!!!”

      I get what you say and I understand it but the American people in general didn’t vote for Biden either… they voted against Trump

      You could place a green plant with a [D] next to its name on the 2024 ticket and it would still beat Trump because everybody is fucking tired of the constant whining and dramas coming from the GOP

      So in a way, we (and moderates) do the same as Republicans… but for better reasons

          There was also a study where some of the stock portfolios with the most consistent returns were from people who had either forgotten about their account or died.

          I’m not saying we should become a necrocracy, but not having a maniac at the helm is a start.

        It’s the inevitable outcome of a two party system. Only way to fix it is ranked choice voting or similar, but that’ll never happen because the two parties who run the government know they’d be out of power if it was ever put into place

          That and they would actually have to campaign. Right now, once they’re the nominee, they get the full backing of the party and only campaign in “battleground states,” for the most part. If they were up against a dozen parties, they might have to work for a change.

      • That’s the part that upsets me the most about this whole thing.

        It feels like most people are voting against something, so it becomes even more divided because the next person has to go even more extreme. As I look around I see it more and more, in a lot of different countries.

        I’m hoping the political game has reached a point where this either slows down or stops. But I’m not holding my breath.
