This is why the United States needs more viable, rather grassroots-based political parties, and why an American can never trust the outward intentions of the two parties' politicians.

#multiPartySystem #politicalDuopoly #twoPartySystem #USPolitics

A decade ago, when I had my political coming-of-age moment, I was told that I could either value the markets or advance social liberty, conservative or liberal, right-wing or left. Looking back, that seems to me like a false dichotomy intended to squelch out unpopular views befitting a third party. I mean, what's wrong with wanting both?

#conservatism #falseDichotomy #liberalism #twoPartySystem #USPolitics #thirdParty

@davoyager … I’d add the #twoPartySystem with primaries that setup extreme views for the general elections are also a major flaw… with #rankchoicevoiting being a solution

...increases the number of opinions that then confront each other and must be compared.)"

The Great Political Finger Trap https://www.byteseu.com/1617078/ #bridging #IndependentPolitics #PoliticalDivision #PoliticalPolarization #Politics #TwoPartySystem

Neither political party represents the working class. Which is not surprising. Trump and Republicans wants to ruin the economy while Democrats will do nothing to help people economically.

Yep. The Dems are a constant source of disappointment. These are the faces of betrayal:

Catherine Cortez Masto
Dick Durbin
John Fetterman
Maggie Hassan
Tim Kaine
Angus King
Jacky Rosen
Jeanne Shaheen

If you break bread with fascists you are a fascist.

You don’t need to be a detective to solve the murder of America. It’s the two-party system and the absence of ranked-choice voting.

A quotation from Herbert Hoover

   The very basis of Representative Government is a two‐party system. It is one of the essential checks and balances against inefficiency, dishonesty, and tyranny.
   An organized, effective opposition which insists upon disclosure of the facts and submits them to the anvil of debate is the one safety Representative Government has.
   Moreover, the people must have alternative programs of action upon which they may decide at the ballot box.
   Beyond this, any party in power accumulates barnacles and deadwood which can only be rid by a change in administration.

Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) American engineer, bureaucrat, US President (1929-33)
Speech (1951-08-01), “On the Two-Party System,” Utah Republican Outing, Salt Lake City, Utah

The two-party system has failed Black men: A dialogue on the need for a new system

Both the Democrats and Republicans are making a mockery out of the issues that truly matter for Black America. It’s clear that neither have – nor have ever had – a program for the Black working class.

@knittingknots2

They either never got the message, just look at the #ElectionResults , or they wanted to rip off the #bandaid thinking it was the only way to move beyond a #TwoPartySystem

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can we all agree that there's a hole in our roof? Or has the roof caved in completely now? I think it's too late to repair the roof now, we're beyond repair. We need another roof, one that covers us all, because nobody needs to be left in the cold, because we all deserve a safe home.

@lightweight @NZedAUS The states need to adopt #rankedchoicevoting and do away with the #twopartysystem

I want to be clear I'm not telling anyone how to vote. I'm just saying--no matter how you vote, keep your eyes open and get ready to push for better. Because if this is the less harmful of the two viable parties--we need severe reform in the USA, that won't come from simply casting a vote.

@ralph058 agreed - #MAGA and it various iterations will remain and the "republican" party is finito. If rump loses, and the election takes months to finalize and includes another #SCOTUS intervention which will likely break our democracy, there will be void, pun intended, to be filled by what and whom, we do not know. #trepidation #democracy #corruption #twopartysystem #elections #history #leadership

It really is a shame #uspol has #twopartysystem, because it flattens their discourse to 1 dimension, when in reality political attitude is 2-dimensional.

This is why they fail to see that Trump & Maga are not moves to the right, they are moves UP toward authoritarianism.

Also, their economy is not moving toward more #capitalism, but away toward authoritarian #technofeudalism.

The #platforms will be the lords who own the land and rent out "markets" which are a fake sideshow for peons.

I really wish we had a choice of a candidate who would stop funding the Palestinian #genocide. Unfortunately, it's looking like our choices are:

1. Will keep funding the genocide in #gaza and probably do some positive stuff, too

2. Will keep funding the genocide and will also destroy democracy at home, reverse every conceivable bit of progress for equality and social justice, and piss all over any foreign policy wins we might still be clinging to

#palestine #TwoPartySystem #USA #election #harris #trump

Not entirely sure why everyone is in such a #panic about #Trump and #Biden stepping down as #candidate .

Since the #usa is effectively a #twopartysystem the solution for not wanting Trump as a #president is very simple:

1. Get out and #vote for his #opponent.
2. Encourage as many others as possible to do the same.

Whatever else you do... VOTE!

If you don't vote when you are entitled to: stop #complaining about the #results.

Don't accept #gerrymandering and such shenanigans.

We Beg Your Pardon America

Gil Scott- Heron

"They call it “due process” and some people are overdue
We beg your pardon, America
Somebody said, “Brotherman gonna break a window, gonna steal a hubcap, gonna smoke a joint, a brotherman gonna go to jail”
The man who tried to steal America is not in jail
“Get caught with a nickel bag, brotherman. Get caught with a nickel bag,” sisterlady on your way to get your hair fixed
“You'll do Big Ben, and Big Ben is time”
But a man who tried to fix America will not do time."

I wrote a short essay on how the #ElectoralCollege is rigged for the #TwoPartySystem. It is set up so that a #ThirdParty candidate get ZERO electoral votes. In fact, a vote for a strong third-party candidate helps the other side win. I break down the mechanics of US Presidential #elections at https://www.facebook.com/thedavid.mfano/posts/pfbid02Vp4Y7tpPtYfwG7DVMCuhRBMhKsUiFm6Wcum6gTYvjRnTmGa4n2rdLRNCrwbKwVLXl

I'm critical of #JoeBiden, especially his policy w/ #Israel. At least 35,386 dead in #Gaza. HOWEVER in the #2024Election I still support #Biden. Because #DonaldTrump wld be MUCH worse!

I explain in a short essay about #Trump's #ForeignPolicy & "accomplishments" in office, Biden's accomplishments, the #ElectoralCollege & the #TwoPartySystem, the truth about #ThirdParty candidates, #NPVIC, & #RCV posted at https://www.facebook.com/thedavid.mfano/posts/pfbid02bxdG1qnwaoPa2awYgNCGQFKXwa8Ne4ybWbVkpwF8Q991Qs1uQnNScapHipHyLQjfl

And this is why truly healthy democracies require more than just a #twopartysystem

We used to have better in #sask and if we want our province to thrive and be all it can be, we will need more than just a #dichotomy of political choice.

Our #democracy requires it.

Our preferential system of voting gives Australians the opportunity to loosen the stifling grip of the two party system while maintaining political stability.

For the most part, we are only given two choices in terms of government, so you should almost never give your first preference to the Coalition or Labor. Put your preferred government (out of those two) second.

You can even put them further down the list, as long as you preference them above the government you want to avoid. The only time this doesn't apply is when you are offered no viable alternatives.

Research the others. See who else might better represent you. Make them number one. We don't have to live in Groundhog Day.

I'm a Green, but this is not just for Greens voters.

@dankwraith
We distinctly asked our local state rep, "why not just not do the project that will tear out hundreds of big #trees to add more #road lanes we don't need?"

All they said was, and this is dead pan mind, "It doesn't work like that."

The #twoPartySystem is literal #deathcult.
