this is ragebait. democrats constantly criticize their reps, to a fault. obv spending time criticizing dems more than repubs rn is tone deaf and actively harmful. if theres some point to be made like 'jeffries is a sold out dark money lobbyist' plenty would agree; but if someone says 'democrats suck' as a blanket statement rn, im gonna assume theyre a russian bot and block+ban✌️

You get two options with a history of nepotism and complacency. Independent parties stand no chance due to the funding.

Yes, democrats suck, but it's still better than voting for soulless fascists.

This thread kind of disproved itself

The problem with American democracy is the voting system. A party that isn't either thre democrats or the republicans will never win because people know if they vote for anything else there vote will be pointless.

America needs preferential voting but will never implement it because it would mean the two party system will be demolished (which is in neither of the two party's best interest.)

You're right, of course. It's obvious to anyone intellectually honest in America, too. That's why almost all third-party candidates (and a growing percentage of Democrats) support either preferential or approval voting.

Because we are tired of arguing nuance, while out enemied threaten to literally exterminate us. At this point, any straying from the left is a profound moral failing. It's usually some kind if bigotry, or support of unscientific ideas.
