Americans need to organize themselves out of 2 party system. It’s the only way and funnily enough - it would be a much more of an american system because US is all about competition, right?
Americans need to organize themselves out of 2 party system.
They absolutely do. But that’s not happening in the next election. Or the one after that. Or the one after that. Or the one after that.
It happens when a 3rd party actually gets serious about getting their message out and when Americans across the nation start voting for members of that 3rd party in local/state elections and start putting members from that party in Congress. It’s going to take YEARS AND YEARS.
Until then, it would be nice if people could suck it up and make the best decision in the situation we find ourselves in when it comes to control of our federal government.
There are systemic barriers to a 3rd (or 4th etc) party. No amount of campaigning or organizing will make them viable without systemic change. Attempting to push 3rd parties at the ballot box will, hilariously (in a sad way), benefit the party you least align with.
In a proper multi-party system, you can get several non-ontologically evil parties at once. Both “non-ontologically” evil and non-“ontologically evil”.
You can try. More often than not, it seems you get a bunch of reactionaries wearing different hats and hoping you don’t notice that the “Wake Up!” Party, the “New Radical Center” Party, and the “United Federationalists” party are bankrolled out of the same plutocrat’s pocket.

Americans need a second party.
Maybe get rid of parties altogether? They already have one representative per state, why not go with that and elect one of them a president?
If a group of people start collaborating together to elect people aligned with their socio-economic interests, what is your plan to stop them?
you’ve gotta start way lower than that first. how can we elect a president when we can’t elect a mayor

What is the point of a multi-party system when we believe all the other parties are ontologically evil?
Who believes this? I mean other than Republicans I guess.
It’s like a wheel - the more sides there is the smoother it rolls.
Why the hell do you want government to roll? Damn thing is going to roll right over you.
