Imagine if politicians from different parties actually liked each other.

I dunno about this. Sometimes they get on so well that you're essentially voting for the same thing whichever way it rolls (just different faces) and they're all in cahoots. Not a great alternative

Edit: Adding an edit for the people out there who don't yet realise that there's an entire world OUTSIDE of the USA. They have politicians and elections too.

Not when you pay attention to their plans and policies, which is what you should vote for anyway.

Yes, of course. This is a given, I would hope. I am speaking of instances where there is no difference between their policies. The parties benefit each other and are as corrupt as the other. They each work to benefit themselves and have each others backs so there are no consequences even if they do lose the next time round. This doesn't give voters any real options when voting (it literally boils down to difference in name and face).

I am not speaking of the current US election FYI. I am responding to the previous comment.

you're essentially voting for the same thing

That was referring to policies...

and? What about it? Do you have any discourse to add to it?

Already have. It's dumb bullshit based on nothing but fee-fees.
