And they will probably try out of fear to take Americans' guns, which is going to be hilarifying

MODERATORS
It really pisses me off that we find ourselves here again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oKZgXvpm0c&t=263s. (its the Canada asylum scene from handmaid's tale)
because of the DNC's corrupt desire to game the electoral system to maximize for the most funding -- dirty or not-- rather than whats good for society. Pelosi's corruption as evidenced by her getting FILTHY rich off insider trading is not a one-off, its systematic and formalized at every leadership level of the party (Exactly the same as it is in the rethuglican party). As is enabling AIPAC's genocide and land theft, against the wishes of the majority of Democratic party voters.
People need to choose now: fund and enable Progressivism and join the "woke dirty hippies" or more of the same traitorous "woopsie" failure from centrism, and Putin and Netenyahus hands crushing whats left of this country. People may not even have a chance to exercise this choice, much less another after this one-- so the last minute to save ourselves has arrived, if not passed.
Time to choose. Supporting a third party (or a much more progressive dem party where we toss the centrist leadership to the curb) needs to start now, not in 3 and a half years.
Aww cute you think that a 3rd party would ever be viable on a national level at this point.
This is why we need to change our election laws though for real so we can vote for who we want without taking votes from the most likely winner or other acceptable candidate.
I'd rather have a parliamentary system to be honest, the way congress works and electing our reps directly vs voting for parties just lends itself to the two party problem and that's not stopping anytime soon by the looks of it.

Let them eat cake.
Who is we ? are you not bearing witness to the fawning obsiquisness ?
This disposition to admire, and almost to worship, the rich and the powerful, and to despise, or, at least, to neglect persons of poor and mean condition, though necessary both to establish and to maintain the distinction of ranks and the order of society, is, at the same time, the great and most universal cause of the corruption of our moral sentiments - Adam Smith
You mean like every decade before now? They just used to be able to explain it away to themselves by imagining the rest of the population was just stupid and foolish, because they kept to themselves behind the walls of their daycares, surrounded by yes men.
No, it isn't.
This was one pissed-off kid out of 330,000,000 who are being purposefully kept in poverty, and nothing fundamental will change as long as 99% of voters are only going to pick a candidate based on team color.
We can only hope.
If only.
...and how few of us ever take any tangible action - but they already know that.
