That's why we need ranked choice voting.

No, you are just buying into the scam.

It's not a question of centrist vs left or right, it's a matter of there being a single real party, and some superficial cosmetic issues they loudly fight over, to distract you.

As long as it's a two party system, the US will not even have free and fair elections at all.

Our focus groups tell us this is important to you so we looked into it and can't do anything about it. We're working hard for you though, trust us.

So long as centrists run the Democratic Party, there won't be a lot of daylight between the two on that score. Centrist Democrats are pretty indistinguishable from what we used to call moderate Republicans.

Ah yes, the closeted homo who wants to outlaw "beards" wants to check everyone's testosterone. Makes sense.

And in a move that surprises absolutely no-one who follows how these things escalate, the shitfest grows bigger.

He'd sell his kids if he could make a profit.

Would he sell them missiles to go to war with?

I want to give you an award, but I'm not paying money to the criminals at Reddit who stole my decades of accumulated coins.

When it comes to war, neither party is better.

Remember, Obama's "hope and change" was starting wars in Syria and Libya, and supplying arms to Saudi Arabia to murder civilians in UAE, Oman, and Yemen.

Reminds me of Bush giving a speech against the Russia/Ukraine war, but accidentally saying "Iraq" instead.

Also, in the Twi language, OTAN means "enemy".

Being very much anti-war and having recently read Thoreau's On the Duty of Civil Disobedience I feel this. Part of me wants to withhold taxes, at least the amount that goes to military spending, because I hate that I'm part of machine of death.

Unfortunately, I'm also unwilling to lose everything I have and spend part of my life in prison when if will make no difference. The only way I would risk this is if I had a compact with enough people where that action would send a message.

Yes, we have been disenfranchised; actually, it goes back to our founding.

We were never supposed to be a real democracy, so they didn't let even most white men vote until they had the two-party system locked into place, and now they get to decide who we are allowed to vote for, and it's never anyone who cares what we think.

what if many people just decide to not pay their taxes?

The taxes go to domestic programs. They just print more money for war.

We had the immediate threat of the Epstein files showing that Trump is a pedophile. Trump seized the day to change the narrative.
