This is not a facetious question. I know I can technically ask AI but i don't think this is a simple answer TBH, as I am confused about process, and I do not know enough about US politics.

All my life when observing US politics (which I don't really do for fun) there has generally been a very visible opposition leader, you know their name their stance etc. It's the same for most major powers. But for the USA I simply do not know anymore. I get the jist there is only 2 parties but the democratic party seems like its just disappeared. Previously there was news of candidates etc but that's just gone.

What is happening? and who is the leader of the opposition now?

I am not looking for a bunch of FTrump answers, it would be great to have a discussion that's rational and not about him.

Thanks! I don't think OP can see my comment to begin with, so that helps with visibility. Great expansion too!

No probs. Why not, do they have you blocked, or did piefed code in a Cowbee filter 🤣

PJ complained to Rimu, so Rimu instance banned me from PieFed.social, and it seems Feddit.org and Lemmy.Blahaj.zone followed suit. Started from this, where I responded to some of PJ's nonsense, then PJ made a string of MwoG posts about me. Really not worth anyone's time to look into, but for those who want context here it is.
