My point is how many states did Trump lose by 5% coz these are the only ones you can realistically look at as swinging. And he only won the big chair coz of a few specific states. If Trump wants to win again he needs to win these again.
The press have givwen Trump one hell of shitty ride. One that I don't know anyone else could handle, that's half the reason I think the 'Left' call him a tyrant, coz only a tyrant could have so much bad press and still be in power.
This press is taking a toll on people.

What was a skewer doing under a tree?
@Poppy Rider For someone form outside the US, like myself, this 3rd party obstruction is very confusing. Can't these parties start getting votes on a local level to get some notoriety and then go for the federal seats?
@arivatana How many parties do you have?
the us only has 2 parties that get votes
Here in India, there's right wing, corruption, corrupted socialist, and communist party
more likely to get elected as a independant then a 3rd party. most join the main 2 like what trump did
Third parties, in a mainly two party system, are not meant to win. You know this when you vote for them. Voting 3rd party is a threat to you main party that if they don't change they will lose even more votes.
@Poppy Rider I'm in europe so there are also 2 levels (think the eu as the federal state and countries as states). In the european parliment there are 9 parties represented. In Portugal (the country that i live) there are also 5 parties represented in the portuguese parliment
2 parties or 9 its still just a bunch of career politicians trying to rile up votes for themselves.
Look at UKIP in the UK. Their only goal was to have a referendum on membership of the EU. At most they got 15% of the vote but after that they got their one and only policy enacted by the Tories.
tories havent followed though and now ukip is branching out into other polocies
@arivatana What sort of vote share to those parties get?
UKIP need to keep their eye on the ball right now. Yes Islam is a problem but if we don't leave the EU then we can't do anything about it.
Here in portugal we have 2 main parties (center left(28%) and center right(36%), but the center left made a coalition with the far left parties (8% and 5%) which granted them the majority. the far right party (12%) did not reach an agreement with the center right. These are rounded numbers
<:TimThink:482277772497125378>
Yeah, here the Europe we have a mainly two party system but the third parties can hold some sway. In the US it is nowhere near these numbers.
`here the Europe we have a mainly two party system`
🤔
Yeah, two strong partys that get between 20-30% each, sometimes even more and a couple smaller ones
Sorry, i was looking at the wrong numbers:
Center right - 39%
Center left - 32 %
Far left - 10% + 8%
Nature party - 1%
Yeah, In Europe voting for a third party can get stuff done. In the US you would need a massive change in voting patterns for voting 3rd to have an effect. They are 'trapped' in a two party system and have been convinced if they vote 3rd party they will let their enemy win.
Politics is a long game and should be played as such.
I’ll vote the popular if either candidate comes up to me with a plate of meatballs, a toothbrush, and toothpaste.
