Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The ONLY viable way of destroying the two party system is to support the pro-democracy progressive movement within the Democratic party. That means keeping Dems in power. Even if its just enough to keep the fascists at bay to prevent them from destroying democracy entirely.
I.E. the lesser of 2 evils.
So here we are back at vote for Dems, no matter who, or surrender to fascism. That is your only choice.
And which party is spearheading all of it? It ain't the Dems.
Are you seriously pointing to the Dems as the "criminal scum"?
Putting both parties in context, equating them both as criminal scum is like comparing a baby with cancer to a gorilla who can't cum unless he's ripping the head off of babies.
This "both sides" horseshit isn't even just delusional at this point. It is entirely divorced from reality.
Younger people trend progressive. Socialism is the leading ideology of younger people.
The only thing brainwashing young people are dumb fucks telling them they shouldn't vote for the only viable party that isn't fascist, in a system where lack of action favors the fascists.
My dude, open your eyes to the now. Both sides are objectively NOT the same in degree of genocide, crime and suppression of the American working class. It is FUCKING DIVORCED FROM REALITY to make that claim.
And that's not even getting into the fact that, again, between the 2 parties, only 1 has a viable progressive wing.
I actually am. I'm voting for the only viable party that can change the corrupted system and keep the fascists at bay.
Sounds like you're coping over how fucking lame, ineffective and moronic your stance is.
Voting against the fascists who took the Palestinian genocide and rose it a genocide against Hispanic Americans, against LGBTQ+ Americans, against the Lebanese, against the Iranians, against the Cubans, etc.
What are you doing to stop these genocides? I know the answer is "jack shit", but I'll entertain the dumbass question
You do not destroy the two party system by keep supporting it.
To me it sound like you have already surrendered to fascism
both of them
I am, the previous democratic administration supported and fueled a genocide where thousand of innocent kids got murdered. They didn't simply close an eye on it, they actively supported it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_support_for_Israel_in_the_Gaza_war
The reality is that as time goes USA is climbing the chart to become the worst evil empire in history, each decade they start a new war where thousand of innocent people get murdered. Red and blue administrations one after another the war machine never stop but get boosted and replenished to start another conflict.
Hopefully they do but sadly many of them are brainwashed by propaganda, US democratic party is as much as progressive as some right wing parties are in europe.
Dude both red and blue latest administrations literally supported and fueled the genocide providing israel any sort of help. There aren't degrees of genocide, if you support the murder of innocent children you are scum on every degree.
Fascists already rule US. The previous US government knew trump was a pedophile and didn't do shit about it.
