Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

effectively two party

One party, as evidenced by the fact that both parties rule as conservatives.

as compared to socialist/commie parties, yeah.

but the chances of socialists and commies taking power of the US government and managing to refactor the entire government is so low it will probably self destruct prior to that, so we should probably work within the bounds of the government we have currently.

As far as moderate lefties go, we've got a really good line up this time around.

I hope they're as good as you think they are.

well in terms of policy they're pretty good, tim walz and kamala line up pretty well, and they both have plenty of experience in the fields that matter. In terms of platform they've got basically the perfect media machine under them.

I suppose we'll have to see what happens when they get in office, if they do, but it should be a pretty good run.
