@admin@alyaza As a European, I really don’t get it. How is the US supposed to satisfy everyone’s political choices when there are literally only two parties making it to the legislative (i.e. the Congress)? America should really get into a more multiparty system.
The two parties in question have no interest in diluting power, so they won’t let that happen. Eventually this nation will strangle itself to death, which is great because then everyone else can look at us as an object lesson of what not to do.
@dax Oh, I’m pretty sure they already did if they cared so far. Those states/governments that didn’t have already employed similar dark patterns in order to ensure the stability of their grip on power.
Here in Romania, we have an abysmally high number of signatures that need to be gathered in order for someone to run on elections (that no independent can fully gather without support from the parties) and local elections in one round no matter what (the presidential ones are still in two rounds). Until a few years ago, even creating a new party would require at least 25.000 members from a certain number of counties. There was a scandal around 2015 or something and the number was dropped to 3 members.

I believe that you’ve missed my point or didn’t think through my original comment. There are, roughly, 400 people that control everything on Earth. Two-party and/or multiparty arguments are moot.

@admin sorry, I get it now. It was late night here FWIW 😁
