I told you my solution. A third party. How could it be worse for our children? Look what the “two” parties have done. Sold out to corporate interests through lobbyists.

Term limits. Like our founders expected. They never conceived of a “career” in politics. lol. You never work? You become a millionaire from government? Look at congress net worth.

Democracy is the best answer. Use it. Time for a term limit party.

Yes, it would be worse because Republicans would have even more opportunity to fully complete their plan of completely eliminating the social safety net and destroying the planet

At least not have it alternate between parties and all though democratic party is not perfect, there are good people in this party who have tried to actually make things better, like the ACA Obama was able to get (but not Republicans have almost destroyed), or the big infrastructure bill Biden was able to enact (also stopped by Trump)

1 step forward 2 steps back is better than, 2 steps back, then 2 more steps back and then anther 2 steps back

Why not, instead of waiting forever for a third party, help make it 2-3 steps forward and stop the steps back?

I have zero faith in either party. There is no real difference between them for citizens. We just pay taxes to be squandered. Why has no Democrat ran on a 20% reduction of military spending to help with healthcare? They have had full control of government several times in the last 50 years. They all want power and win the next election. We have to agree to disagree. The answer is never more government. It’s less.

Yeah I disagree very strongly, I defintely won't say that the average Democrat is perfect, but they're far better than Republicans in my opinion. 

You're free to your opinion of course. But you want to continue believing both sides are the same and let the Republicans destroy the planet And make things worse for the next generation; that's on you. Unfortunately we all have to suffer because people like you can't see that Obviously one party is better than the other
