I mostly meant that a 2 party system consisting of 2 right-wing parties & a horrible voting sysem doesn't exactly scream "functioning democracy" to me.
@ferric_carcinization @HubertManne Oh shit, more "both sides same" bullshit.
Scientific evidence that they aren't: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/people-in-republican-counties-have-higher-death-rates-than-those-in-democratic-counties/
I'm not saying that they're the same, they're just both right-wing.
@ferric_carcinization Compared to you. Darn those Democrats for not wanting to smash the state.
Not compared to me, compared to the political parties where I live. From what I've read about them, the USA's Democrats are, at best, comparable to center-right parties here.
@ferric_carcinization It's a big tent, ranges from Republicans who only run as Democrats to get elected (DINOs) to social democrats who'd like a European level of safety net. But we are hamstrung by an electoral system that puts a lot of power in the hands of resentful rural voters (descended of one that protected slavers).
