Yuuuup it’s done deliberately to make sure no other party gets a real chance.

It is quite literally the same kind of tactics that Coke and Pepsi used in the cola wars. You push everyone else out so the choice is only between two. It’s a duopoly bc it’s a symbiotic rel’ship between 2 monopolies.

Exactly. One of the best podcast episodes that explains how this works in the US is this one, it’s an oldie but goodie (from 2018).

Any system that strips diverse urban voters of electoral power while rewarding rural, mostly white voters with expanded electoral power IS hopelessly and perniciously racist.
That IS the Electoral College, in a nutshell.

Yes we’ve always only had 2 major parties and that has always been a deliberate choice, but it doesn’t need to stay that way.

A cand shouldn’t need any money to get on *any* ballot in a democratic republic.

The EC is a racist institution that only serves the conservative minority agenda in the US.

That's because the two parties DO NOT WANT American voters to have a choice. They've set up any number of barriers to alternate parties, and have passed laws protecting party turf.
Hell, We the People even pay for their closed primaries and congressional party offices.

It'll take a revolution. Fortunately, there is going to be a revolution within 2 years.
It CANNOT be changed via a constitutional convention, because the constitution and much of the system are broken, and grant white men MASSIVE electoral power advantages that would extend to any convention.

I did.

Getting registered in at least 30 states, to start.

It'll happen after the revolution. The Democrats and Republicans have spent a hundred years building a closed infrastructure so the people are left without a real choice. They've passed legislation making it difficult for other parties to run, & established party offices in Congress which we pay for

Yes. The answer is yes. American stupidity is fatal.

Governing is impossible when it's feckless moderate Dems versus the Nazis.

I just had a drive-by by some goddamned apologist for the moderate Dems. I know you blocked me rather than accept the bare truth, so fuck you.

You're welcome to your opinion. When Dems are in the Senate Majority, they allow RAMPANT abuse of the filibuster by the GOP, torpedoing the policy goals of Dem Presidents.
Dems COULD have forced the GOP to relinquish this weapon, but Democrats are fucking pussies, and there's just no way around that

Moderate Democrats aren't worth my spit. Stand for something, or don't.

Keep collecting and documenting all the evidence for the soon upcoming mass tribunal trials (Nuremberg 2.0) of HIM, his willful henchmen, all ICE goons as part of the Nuremberg Tribunal Trials 2.0. No proof beyond reasonable doubt needed. It won’t be pretty …

I've been an indy my entire life. AIPAC dark money is toxic to the United States.

There needs to be a goddamned Star Chamber.

Add Chuck Schumer to that list, he should have kept them in line. The ones that are retiring or not up for election voted this way. They had to figure it out...ok, we need 8 to pass it. They make me sick!
