Dang, sounds like the 2 party system is quite terrible. If only we were warned about this from the very beginning, like maybe if this countries first president could've realized the fatal flaw of the party system. Just sticking this quote here for unrelated reasons "However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion." -George Washington
At the state level back home in Connecticut, Democrats haven’t been doing entirely terrible. Just recently, we codified Roe into law at the state level. And under Gov. Ned Lamont, Dems have passed a $15 minimum wage, paid family/medical leave, legal marijuana (although now they’re trying to fine people for gifting weed, which sucks), etc. So, he may not be great, but he’s gotten enough good/decent things done to justify me voting for him for reelection.
If I remember correctly, Connecticut is a blue state. Wasn't the last Republican presidential candidate to win Connecticut George Bush in 1988? 40% Democrat, 20% Republican. Yes, it's no surprise Connecticut gets progressive stuff through; they consistently vote blue.
Y'know, I sat through an entire 1:30 anti-trans TH-cam add placed *just so* in your video that it seemed like it was part of it, as I had my phone in my pocket. I dearly miss the time I lost on that.
This is why you people need compulsory voting. When it's not a choice to vote, you *have* to choose someone to vote for, and you're obviously not going to vote for a Republican. So you know what would happen? There'd be an appreciable number of registered progressive voters who are choosing between voting Democrat or voting third-party and splitting the left vote, and the Democratic party would be forced to either listen to them or lose to the Republicans. If everyone voted, voting would mean something. So vote.
Love this timing, especially after this whole Roe v Wade situation.

Yes they do, they stand for avarice and enslavement. Right?
