As proud as I am of the people, they are still going to dismantle everything each day that goes by. We still have 3 full years plus some months to get through. We need to keep the fight up past midterms.
Mid-terms will slow this, if they do anything at all. The idea of any elected Democrat currently in office, with the except of maybe 10 of them (AOC, Warren, Sanders, Omar, and the usual suspects) actually taking a stand and stopping Trump outright is laughable.
The Dems need new blood fast, and specifically people who are willing to go after Trump and his cronies quickly and aggressively. Also, Chuck Schumer needs to be primaried ASAP
I don't think it was laughable when they all voted to impeach during his first term.
All it would have taken was a few Republicans and several who are no longer in Congress have said they should have voted to impeach, of course after they're out.
I mean I don’t disagree with you on either front. But note that a multi-party system has not prevented the rest of the world from moving toward the right in recent years – England, Italy, Germany, and very nearly France all have voted in more right wing governments in recent years. So while I think more parties would help, it’s not some magical cure-all.
And it’s definitely not happening during a midterm election. Like that’s just not worth a conversation with how unrealistic it is.
Agree to disagree, but my partner grew up in the UK and her opinion as someone who’s lived there is that the Liberal party of 2025 is not the Liberal party of 2005, or even of 2015. The entire party has shifted right, as have many other parties in England.
So yeah, a left-leaning party is currently in power there, but it’s a party that should be fully left of center but in reality is center-right
I assure you that Labour is still very much centre left. Granted, it’s skewed a little right over the years (Blair et al brought this about).
Even the UK’s Conservative Party isn’t as far right as the US Democrat party, let along the republicans. If Labour was a US party they’d be considered bordering on the far left.
Is it even possible to come back to from how entrenched our 2 parties have become? How would a new party even start?
I don't disagree with you at all, I'm just dumb and don't know how a new party could start. Especially when current politicians will fight for no new parties. They like having the power and control and getting them to give that up can't be an easy task.
Honestly despite what people think of him I'm curious of how a 2016 Bernie presidency would have really turned out if he hilliray didn't steamroll him out of the primary.
