the United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them. — Julius Nyerere

I shall not go to the polls. I have not registered. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no "two evils" exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can do or say.... — W.E.B. Du Bois

The Democratic Party has really been a right wing party this whole time.

America hasn’t ever really had a real left wing

oh yeah they're about to slide right from neocon-warhawk to SS-Totenkopf tattoos but still you have libs crying about "vote in the primaries!!"

[–] doctordevice@lemmy.ca 11 points 10 hours ago

"Vote in the primaries!"

"I do but the party actively undermines democracy during those. Repeatedly, openly, and unashamedly."

"Yeah well they're allowed to just choose whoever they want anyway so you have to vote for the neoliberal in the general."

Same thing in the UK. Just replace Democrats with Labour and MAGA with Reform.

Same in Germany: The center right CDU tries to get voters from the far right AFD. Never worked, but they keep on trying.

the democrats are going to try again; that's why they blocked the release of their post-mortem investigation into the last election.

That's more like our Conservative party doing it (which they are), but Labour is meant to be a worker's party.
