Because the name of the game is good cop/bad cop. Because money drives our political system, not public interest. And if the public is interested in moving left or in a socialist direction, the Democratic Party only exists to trick you into wasting your votes on them.

Breaking free from the two-party trap.

In theory, but in practice it forces a #TwoPartySystem. There are LOTS of FANTASTIC principles and rules coded into our constitution, that we need to defend now, and if we fail, we lose #TheRepublic. But a better constitution could have prevented the radicalization inherent in our system.

@monk @Daojoan

Americans do not choose to have only two parties. Our PACs, media, and billionaires choose that for us. #CitizenUnited cements the fact that our choices are binary.

A few places (such as in Alaska) are allowing #RankedChoiceVoting as a path for other parties, but in the end (even there)... We are still dominated by the two parties.

Long, expensive campaigns for Congress and the WH mean that big money needs to back candidates. Big money means one of the two major parties MUST back you financially.

#ThirdParty candidates have almost always been spoilers for the Democrats' success and helped Republicans.

Tell us how to get corruption, big money and billionaires out of our system, and how to convince our corrupt politicians to get rid of the same #CitizensUnited that profitd them... THEN maybe we could have more parties.

Until such time as we can magically make that happen, we will have only two choices.

@knittingknots2

They either never got the message, just look at the #ElectionResults , or they wanted to rip off the #bandaid thinking it was the only way to move beyond a #TwoPartySystem

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can we all agree that there's a hole in our roof? Or has the roof caved in completely now? I think it's too late to repair the roof now, we're beyond repair. We need another roof, one that covers us all, because nobody needs to be left in the cold, because we all deserve a safe home.

A drawing of a house with a hole in the roof. Underneath a text; Haggis has a hole in his roof. He er fixed it because on rainy days it's too wet to work. And on sunny days it doesn't need fixing.

@lightweight @NZedAUS The states need to adopt #rankedchoicevoting and do away with the #twopartysystem

2024-10-09

I want to be clear I'm not telling anyone how to vote. I'm just saying--no matter how you vote, keep your eyes open and get ready to push for better. Because if this is the less harmful of the two viable parties--we need severe reform in the USA, that won't come from simply casting a vote.

@ralph058 agreed - #MAGA and it various iterations will remain and the "republican" party is finito. If rump loses, and the election takes months to finalize and includes another #SCOTUS intervention which will likely break our democracy, there will be void, pun intended, to be filled by what and whom, we do not know. #trepidation #democracy #corruption #twopartysystem #elections #history #leadership

It really is a shame #uspol has #twopartysystem, because it flattens their discourse to 1 dimension, when in reality political attitude is 2-dimensional.

This is why they fail to see that Trump & Maga are not moves to the right, they are moves UP toward authoritarianism.

Also, their economy is not moving toward more #capitalism, but away toward authoritarian #technofeudalism.

The #platforms will be the lords who own the land and rent out "markets" which are a fake sideshow for peons.

I really wish we had a choice of a candidate who would stop funding the Palestinian #genocide. Unfortunately, it's looking like our choices are:

1. Will keep funding the genocide in #gaza and probably do some positive stuff, too

2. Will keep funding the genocide and will also destroy democracy at home, reverse every conceivable bit of progress for equality and social justice, and piss all over any foreign policy wins we might still be clinging to

We Beg Your Pardon America

Gil Scott- Heron

"They call it “due process” and some people are overdue
We beg your pardon, America
Somebody said, “Brotherman gonna break a window, gonna steal a hubcap, gonna smoke a joint, a brotherman gonna go to jail”
The man who tried to steal America is not in jail
“Get caught with a nickel bag, brotherman. Get caught with a nickel bag,” sisterlady on your way to get your hair fixed
“You'll do Big Ben, and Big Ben is time”
But a man who tried to fix America will not do time."

So is the US always going to be one election away from fascism now? “Vote for us or it’s fascism” every four years feels less like democracy and more like a hostage situation.

How do you reform a system where things have gotten this bad?
