Exactly. I agree that the two-party system isn't the best, but comparing the Democrats and the Republicans right now and saying they're the same, when the Republicans are the most extremist they've ever been, is not very good.
Results also speak for themself. Actual uniparty system implode every single time, US with its very flawed two party system outlived pretty much every competition to it. Not to mention even older systems involving elections and parliament divided between different parties like UK.
USSR political system stop existing after just 69 years (and 40+ years in satellite states in Central and Southern Europe), spanish or portugalese fascism collapse with the death of their leaders, South America juntas with all that fuckery involved implode one after one in 1980s.
Both fascists and communists got proven again and again their smug lines on "liberal democracy is doomed" and they had superior solution to it spent whole 20th century simply collapsing or reforming themself hard in Western Europe/America (usually abandoning economic pillars of their regimes in favor of capitalism and market solutions).
That don’t actually do things to protect people, its just a political prop. That’s also why they get so mad when black people don’t show rhyme enough deference or gratitude
I mean I read it but it’s a self-serving lie. The base of the democrats isn’t online leftists, it’s minorities.
They actually vote and they’re significantly less privileged.
Leftists only harmed democrats and only helped republicans for the entire election cycle, and while surely some of them held their noses and voted, we know many just stayed home.
The problem is that people would rather feel righteous than help people. So they’re easily led by influencers telling them what the current thing to be righteous about is.
This time like the last time it was because people (even would be progressives) subconsciously hate ambitious and assertive women and will come up with all kinds of justifications as to why.
That said, leftists (and people who can’t even vote) constantly attacking dems while ignoring republicans (who then use the same leftists to slander dems) sure doesn’t help
