We absolutely do need to end the cycle yes, but putting the GOP in absolute power isn't going to make that happen, and it's going to make a lot of things a lot worse for a lot of people in the process. Your sense of righteous indignation at the two party system doesn't help people being black bagged by masked secret police and getting sent off to camps.

The GOP has had complete power my entire life. We are living in that reality.

If it wasn't for the Republicans passing laws that help the rich or Republicans blocking everything the Dems do, then the Dems might actually be held accountable for their failures.

I agree we should try something different than the status quo
