And the leader of the Democrats describes his job as "keeping the left pro Israel".

Interesting.
Obama dropped an average of 80 bombs per day on the ME and North Africa during his presidency. The number of civilians murdered is impossible to calculate.

Are you denying that the Dems are shit? Just because the Reps are worse and currently in power?
What kind of an argument is that supposed to be?

Oversimplified political apathy

Apathy benefits only the republicans

Honestly, I read this thread and can't comprehend how a civilization as advanced as the United States of America thinks that defending a binary choice of democracy is a good thing to do... It's impossible to represent a country with a few million people like that, imagine ~300M. Anyway, keep going at each other's throats for your party color... smh.
It's not an advanced civilization, they have slavery enshrined in constitution.

It's kind of why we need Ranked Choice Voting.
i live somewhere with mandatory voting, and have looked into places with ranked choice. it doesnt do much.
the problem is capitalism and the rich's interests being paid for instead of ours. not how the ballots are made or counted.
Alternative voting systems have in practice been proven useless, whether in South Korea, Japan, Australia, and many other capitalist dictatorship countries that use it. It might make bribery a bit more expensive, since there are more candidates to buy off, and more political advertising necessary, but it hasn't fixed anything.
The root problem is capital standing above political power. And that can't be undone using it's own platform.

here's an example for you to drive home why sentiment like this is dumb and creates false equivalencies. when I was 14, I worked at a grocery store. there were two managers that I would get scheduled with. they both sucked and were awful human beings. however, one was a known child predator. which one do you think I'd rather get scheduled with?

Neither party will ever willingly give up the two party system, as they both benefit from it. At some point Americans need to start backing third parties or everything will just continue to go in circles indefinitely.
One side are literal fascists and the other is not. Nothing else matters compared to that.
Why did the Biden regime give $18B to Israel to help murder Palestinian civilians?
Can you answer for any of Obama's equally vicious war crimes?

Americans think their favorite political sports team cares about them like the stripper actually loved them. No, you just gave them what they wanted and as soon as you're out of sight, they'll forget you and keep doing their job.
For strippers it's doing a workout for a living and being proud of their bodies. For politicians it's gaslighting the public into thinking they're the good guys as they socially murder at home and sweep up blood abroad.
But their tolerance for making you suffer differs significantly.
funniest comment section of all time. my country truly will never change for the better.

The problem of the US is, it is an neo-liberal feudalism with the right to vote between right wing and far right wing to be able to label it as democracy which it never really was. You have the choice to get fucked with or without lubrication, currently the last one.
"I want the USA to suffer and die"
Ftfy. Only one party is actively funded by our enemies and is enacting favorable policies to them.
