  • Any other party has a better chance at winning a popular vote

    Not defending them, but there is some serious doubt there. Any other party, besides republicans, put up the same showing as Linux in a Steam survey. Sure it looks like they’re growing at 100%, but it’s still only 5% overall.

    Until that is broken and majority of people realize there are more than two parties, your best approach is going to be primarying and change within the party.


  • Except most people haven’t even heard of the PSL. Hell, I tend to stay on top of politics and never even heard about them till today. So they’re really no more of an opposition at this point than a random few people who say they want to change the country.

    Bernie and AOC are trying to effect change from within the system, which at this point is a more powerful place to do it from.

    Bernie Sanders and AOC are about the closest you would get to a true opposition. But given that their own party keeps gimping them they can’t do much except stump for their position.

    In the US, I’d argue that the democrats are a “controlled opposition” that is also subservient to the same oligarchs that have captured the republicans.
