They don't need to stop. What they should do is adopt progressive policies that will excite the base. Number #1 would be stopping all arms sales to Israel.

The 2 party system forces politicians to do 1 of 2 things:

  1. Lie to and manipulate uneducated voters into thinking they're the best option.
  2. Only enact middle of the road policies everyone likes to get voters in the middle to swing the vote in their favor.

Our two party system is too entrenched to ever pass laws to remove itself, thus this will always be how politics works in the US. We should all be focused on some form of multiple choice voting like ranked choice if we ever want something different than the above, but I see no reality where the dems and gop come together and dilute their own power by making this a reality.

You egg. A far left candidate would lose to Trump so hard that the climate would be forced to turn into magma without any more help. Elections are about choosing the better of two options. Nobody us going to put up a candidate you agree with on everything: no such candidate exists.

Oh this again.

K the Israel thing isn’t going to happen. It’s fucked up, I know.

Anyway, that’s not what we were talking about. We were talking about money influencing politics. That’s what needs to stop.

You're only flippant about Israel because you're confident Harris will win. I'm going to laugh at all the liberals if Trump wins a second time because you didn't take the concerns of the youth vote seriously and thought you could appeal to enough moderate Republicans.

People who give a shit about Palestine (and I find it weird you never actually used the word Palestine) will not take the course of action that will make things significantly worse for the people in Palestine.

The people who do nothing about a situation are still better than the people who want to make it so much worse.

How is not voting for the perpetuators of genocide "taking the course of action that will male things significantly worse".

Do you understand what genocide is? It really doesn't get any worse.

The current American government is not actively involved in the bombing and is at least paying lip service to "this is bad and should stop".

Trump is on record saying they should carpet bomb the whole area and be done with it.

It is, the US could stop Israel today by stopping aid and arms sales. Israel is an American colony.

The current American government is not actively involved in the bombing

This is a lie.

Jesus Christ, this guy is going for Gold in the 1500 meter Moving Goalposts Sprint.

I'm just trying to help. You're the one desperately buying votes.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm just trying to help.

To clarify: in what way are you trying to help?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Providing advise that will work. Anyway y'all ain't gonna listen so hail Trump I guess.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I've only heard you JAQing off. What's your 'advise' [sic]?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I guess libs go blind when they read things they don't want to hear. Curious.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

When you're "just providing advise" you are unable to state what that "advise" actually is. Curious.
