Honestly, I read this thread and can't comprehend how a civilization as advanced as the United States of America thinks that defending a binary choice of democracy is a good thing to do... It's impossible to represent a country with a few million people like that, imagine ~300M. Anyway, keep going at each other's throats for your party color... smh.

- Be civil and nice.

It's kind of why we need Ranked Choice Voting.
i live somewhere with mandatory voting, and have looked into places with ranked choice. it doesnt do much.
the problem is capitalism and the rich's interests being paid for instead of ours. not how the ballots are made or counted.
Americans think their favorite political sports team cares about them like the stripper actually loved them. No, you just gave them what they wanted and as soon as you're out of sight, they'll forget you and keep doing their job.
For strippers it's doing a workout for a living and being proud of their bodies. For politicians it's gaslighting the public into thinking they're the good guys as they socially murder at home and sweep up blood abroad.
here's an example for you to drive home why sentiment like this is dumb and creates false equivalencies. when I was 14, I worked at a grocery store. there were two managers that I would get scheduled with. they both sucked and were awful human beings. however, one was a known child predator. which one do you think I'd rather get scheduled with?
funniest comment section of all time. my country truly will never change for the better.
I, John Brown, am now quite certain, that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with blood.
He did know that already in 1859
The problem of the US is, it is an neo-liberal feudalism with the right to vote between right wing and far right wing to be able to label it as democracy which it never really was. You have the choice to get fucked with or without lubrication, currently the last one.

I learned from looking at this thread logged out on lemmy.ml that libs would prefer a single party state. I must mean they finally see the Chinese point of view LOL
One side are literal fascists and the other is not. Nothing else matters compared to that.
Why did the Biden regime give $18B to Israel to help murder Palestinian civilians?
Can you answer for any of Obama's equally vicious war crimes?
One side are literal fascists and the other is the former's enables.
FTFY
But their tolerance for making you suffer differs significantly.
