    The two party system is the system we have because we believe in the efficacy of it. I know we make the “vote blue no matter who” arguments but thats fucking exactly what they want. The parties are perfectly positioned to secure different sections of voters and lock them in. Where I felt like I wouldnt want another choice two weeks ago, I am far more likely to consider it now.

      No, noone believes in the efficacy of it. It is the system you have because it is now beyond anyone’s powers to reform it. It is a mixture of archaic and wilfully corrupt laws and rules, which has petrified into something that disproportionally serves one minority fringe and its interests over all others.

      The majority of people does not think it serves their interests, but they are powerless to change it exactly because the small but powerful group whom it actually benefits has disproportionate power to prevent it from happening.

        I’m glad to read this, some of that vote-against-biden rhetoric was starting to get into my head this week 😮‍💨
