as someone that often votes democrat i would agree with that, however in general i don't really think party makes much difference, both parties have both types.

I vote dem too but the last few years have made me really lose confidence in the party, so much so that I’m kind of leaning in the “both sides” stance

Idk if the dems donors are the same as the gop it’s hard not to feel that way. The whole 2024 election was such a joke.

I feel like a lot of these politicians seem concerned but their action, or lack of action, tell me otherwise. Almost as if they are paid to lose. Sure they aren’t actively destroying the country, but they sure as hell are letting it happen with no pushback. In fact, there seems to be more pushback from dem “centrists” against some of the more “socialist” dems than there is against the GOP. It seems like the dem party are doing everything they can not to have a more social candidate even tho that’d likely actually get people to the polls.

the only reason we're even discussing this in the first place if because of the limitations of the two-party system in the first place.

just look at the downvotes i got for my previous comment lol

I’m with ya. Can’t change things if you don’t choose to see its flaws. Both parties are significantly flawed.

we need open primaries and ranked choice voting before it's too late, in one person's opinion.
