He got the line wrong so even most who would recognize it didn't and the "sound familiar?" didn't make any sense.

The two-party system developed practically immediately after the formation of the country. Even the parties in Congress under Washington were beginning to form into two parties before the second President was elected.
There's a reason for this, and it's primarily because the constitution, while certainly a step forward in many respects from shitty ass monarchy, was written by fallible, flawed people who could not anticipate the consequences of some of the decisions they were making with regards to governmental structure. Other countries, using founding documents written after the late 1700s and governments formulated afterwards, were likely able to put the US's example to good use and able to analyze what should have been done differently.
We could hypothetically pull the country out of the "two-party system" rut, but it requires a large degree of change to how we conduct elections, and may even require constitutional amendments. A more pragmatic approach is likely to build a movement in local politics with a third party, and then slowly use the accumulated power upwards to change things via state governments, and then finally change the federal system.

Okay. Good.
Until last night, I thought sometimes Trump was being maybe 1% strategic by behaving like one of these goofballs that votes for him. After watching him debate with the moderators using "I SAW IT ON TV" as an argument, I think he is one of them.
I SAW IT ON TV!
Some independent voters are just Republicans that are ashamed to admit it. You are not persuading them.
For movable independents, Harris spoke of infinitely more policy specifics because Trump had zippo the entire night.
I'd love nothing more than for these two people to be irrelevant, but unfortunately I live in a world where their money causes them to have large amounts of influence.
I'm to the point where I am pro-tax the rich even if the government took all of the money, put it in a big pile, and then set it on fire like the Joker in the Dark Knight.
EDIT: In my stump speech, I'll start proposing this as my plan to fight inflation. /s
That’s the kind of shit high schoolers think adults care about.
Most adults care deeply about being embarrassed...some even more so than children. A very common phobia is that of public speaking.
I thought the Cybertruck would be his wake up call, but somehow that is the best selling EV pickup in all of North America.
If we're looking for business failures, Twitter has cratered in value.
But again I don't think it's possible for people like Leon and Trump to look at failures or accomplishments with anything remotely resembling an objective view. They view things other people would view as failures as being someone else's fault, or fake, or not as big of a deal as someone's making it, etc.
If your entire worldview and personality is predicated on you always being right, and everyone that tells you "no" always being wrong, you cannot reflect on your failures without changing your entire worldview and personality.
I saw Sarah Good with the Devil! I saw Goody Osburn with the Devil! I saw Bridget Bishop with the Devil! You can't fact check me! I WATCHED IT ON TV!
