Nobody hates Democrats as much as Democrats do.
Probably because two political parties isn't enough to truly represent the population.
People shit talk non voters, but these are people who found no representation in the two party system. We can change this. We can have more then two political parties. To think otherwise is to think inside the world's smallest box.
Countries with more parties such as those in Western Europe are also electing fascists. The answer doesn't lie in more parties. China has a majority party and it doesn't get people doing the Sieg Heil
Duverger's Law says that as long as we have this system of voting, we're going to have two, and only two, major parties. It has changed once in history: when the Republicans replaced the Whigs. So, that's what you're looking at: either change the system of voting or replace one of the two parties.
The major political parties may have only changed names once, but the most common stance in modern political science is that we are in the 6th political party alignment in US history.
Nobody gets betrayed by democrats as much as democrats do.
Pelosi and the DNC have hated the left more than they hate the right for a good long time, yeah.
