    Its a two party system. You will not get anything close to a working progressive government until there are more then two. If the Dems win, they get a bit more corrupt and take money to slide a bit right. If they lose, they slide right to “capture” more votes/money (the money works the votes not so much).

    The nasty things that get done (say under 2016 trump) are not undone by the Democrats when next in power. This makes them at best an enabler of crap policy and at worst (also most likely) guilty of using the bad actions of the Republicans to stay in power.

    I don’t know how at this point you doods can fix it, but you don’t have a democracy at the moment. Its just authoritarianism under threat of worse authoritarianism.

      It’s almost like you can’t fix everything in 4 years, especially with midterms.

      If it was so easy to undo things, Obamacare would have been dismantled in the first trump term.

      But since things weren’t fixed fast enough, let’s let the people who broke everything back in power again.

        Yet the Republicans seem to have no issues undoing things every 4 years.

        Obamacare was crippeled last time I looked into it. But maybe it’s different then what I see from up here.
