    America has given the planet one final gift. An example of what not to turn your country into. Australia is next, and their conservative moment is dying out as well.

      GOP knows trump is their last hold on power, so they do everything they can to grift as much and hold on as long as possible before they all retire.

      Our conservative movement didn’t die out, they got more votes this time than the last few times and the popular vote was split down the middle.

      We have more right wing media than centrist or neutral or left wing combined, and much of it is USA owned.

      This all happened at the expense of the moderate left and the extreme right. If we don’t ditch our first past the post electoral system we risk Americanized politics.

        This has many similarities to how the Canadian Federal election ended up. The conservatives actually grew by more than any other group, the Liberals just barely got a minority win. Their gain came at the sacrifice of our 3 other major parties (though almost always smaller than the other 2), turning Canada more into a 2 party running. Ranked choice is sorely needed to save our multi-party system, but the 2 big parties fear they’ll both lose big of they implement that, and they’re probably right…
