Take a good look boys. Textbook example of controlled opposition. If you don’t understand that America only has one political party now, you’ll never will.
Form. New. Parties. Get Bernie and AOC to stop associating with that corrupt cabal. They gave us 2 traitor terms and a grandpa that supported a genocide.
Now everyone together:
In a perfect world, you’re 100% right on. But here’s the thing: there are more than two political parties in America.
Yeah, our political and voting system both leave so much to be desired. But that’s not where the problem ends. A lot of it comes down to mainstream media and a political party’s ability to reach their constituents.
It would also help if third parties weren’t tools for Republicans to steal votes from Democrats.
But it does all come down to how we’ve somehow let two parties rule over our election system. It wasn’t always this way.
Also a problem of having too much dark money. I don't know about the rest of the Greens but Jill Stein was 100% Russian-backed.
She probably was, she was a vote stealer candidate like Ralph Nader which made sense for a scumbag Russia to support. So easy to exploit a 2 party country.
