we have 10. Makes no difference.

10 parties all run by career politicians. Professional sweet talkers.

Mixtures of preferences are so varied that they literally cannot be accommodated. We have to pick which puddle of vomit to lick.

Yea, Biden couldnt get more than 10 honking cars to a rally but for some reason has the highest turnout in american history.

i mean we have many parties as well but you only ever hear about the 2

well, the point of a representative democracy was to elect the best people you have. America has 200 living Nobel prize winners and 80 CMH recipients. These two old incontinent fools is the best America has? Come on! 😄

@Shitty Kitty because the left has been concered about mass gatherings. could be why

Most of the Democrats I know are baffled by the importance placed on 1930's-style displays of fanaticism.

We actually talk about such things.

hardly comparable in my opinion

this hyper partisanship is nutts

how about not being loyal to a party, but a principle?

Honesty.

Justice

for instance.

I'm a No Party Preference voter

I havent voted since the 90ies. 😄

No one is going to embody all those things in all their forms. Like I said, we pick which puddle of vomit we prefer to lick.

It wasn't long ago that the GOP and DEMs stood for very different platforms than they do today.

The GOP is undergoing a wave of populism and originalism now.

@Zuluzeit were I american I would like to vote for Gruler or Kyle Carpenter.

Id like to vote for someone a better man than me.

i think Originalism is the way to go. though i think some views i have might lay outside that philosophy

And I dont grab anyone by the p''''' or smell the hair of young girls. So...were I american, I could not vote.

@Doc The current paradigm is that if you don't back a plausible winner, you're missing your vote away.

*pissing

@Zuluzeit so, a broken system

Correct. But no reasonable alternative.

You had one hero running in this election. A combat medic with a purple heart. Remember her name?

I mean, Canada did manage to get rid of its two party system after a few decades, but it wasn't easy.

@Maw yet, Canada ended up with Catros son as PM. 😄

Canada has a higher proportion of sane people, I reckon.

Debateable.

Lol

Trudeau is PM.

Handsome he is.

Canada has less people in it than CA

soo yeah

Anyways. Its 0340 here people. Long day tomorrow. I thank you for a civilized discussion.

Gentlemen, and lady.

Cheers, have a good night!
