    People don’t want to hear this. They want to blame the marginal voter for not supporting their compromise candidate.

      Oh yeah the only way to fix the broken two party system is to vote for the great team Btm and not that terrible team Atm. Gotta make sure there is never any other options then team Atm or Btm after all.

      Oh and when it all goes wrong (now) make sure to blame voters without choice and also state how nothing can be done as the usa is somehow special and what works everywhere else could never work there.

        The best part is when you do all the work to win the seat for B and they change parties to A right after the election (Jim Justice down in WV being a great example).

        There’s a bunch of speculation that Cuellar got his Appropriations seat back to keep him from flipping to R after the Trump pardon. The parties were in a bidding war for one of the most corrupt mother fuckers of the 21st century

        And this is who we’re choosing between

          Ah yes, the american “we” that both somehow includes everyone in the world but at the same time excludes them at the same time.

          If you are not an american, can’t have an opinion on the american system (not that that stops americans from thinking they have the same ability outside of the us). Everyone is also an american to every american until proved otherwise, and most americans think the whole world works like america. The american system is broken but according to americans nothingtm can be done about it so get out and vote for the home team.

          Hey maybe if americans took a page from Nepal things would be different, but those sorts of things can’t happen in america since for some unknown and indescribable reason they are special and unique.
