A rapidly growing chorus of Democratic lawmakers is calling for President Joe Biden to drop his reelection bid, even as the president insists he’s ready to return to the campaign trail to counter what he calls a “dark vision” laid out by Republican Donald Trump.
Then are you more aligned with the Republicans or the Democrats? Like it or not, the election system only supports two parties. That’s what we should be pushing towards changing rather than hurting ourselves.
I’m not aligned with either, they represent the donor class, not us. They represent money while we get tossed table scraps.
The idea of reforming within is futile, no new blood obtains any positions of power until it’s determined they are not a threat to the existing power structure.
Third parties under the First Past the Post voting system are literally the threat to the power structure that will just keep them pushed down by the major parties.
The major parties may be afraid of sharing power now, but they are also seeing the threat of losing power completely when they can’t keep their coalitions together.
We see Democrats making a major move today with Biden stepping down from the race in order to placate parts of the party that are very unsatisfied. The threat is already more real today than it has ever been.
I think that people will realize that we are all in alignment about reforming the election system being better for the country, even to preserve a large part of the current power structure.
