    But if they consistently win it still alter the political landscape such that someone else will have a better chance of enacting actual change in the future.

    The two party system is garbage, but if one of the two current parties lost its ability to win entirely then a different second option could appear.

      Agree. Within legal means, this is the only way to shift the Overton Window back left. When Democrats are secured from Republicans, then we should be pushing for more progressive options. Democrats would not be expanding the concentration camps like the Republicans are.

        You can’t “push for more progressive options” when you’ve already ceded all power.

        Democrats would not be expanding the concentration camps like the Republicans are.

        History suggests otherwise.

          How far back? I’m pissed Obama and Biden didn’t close Gitmo, but they didn’t expand it either.

        Fuck legal means, this is yer problem its all pride and democracy this until its dismantled in front of ye. Taking the high road has given ye a petulant retard as a leader. Maybe throw “legal” out the window, they did.

          I know what I said. A human knows how to interpret it.

          RPing on an open forum will only get you a visit from the FBI.
