Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

It's hilarious when people think it is anything other than a 2 party system.

It is a kayfabe democracy. It has only oligarchical management, not democratic representation. No matter who wins the elections the policies are predetermined. Rooting for Kamala over Trump is no different than rooting for The Undertaker in Wrestlemania.

Sure sure, because under Kalama Harris this was how January was going to go too, yep.

It was, yeah. The US was going to implode and decline no matter which person was appointed by your oligarchy. You didn't vote for any of the corporate board members who control your society and government in November. You also didn't actually have a choice, in kayfabe democracy the results are predetermined, much like all the elections in authoritarian carceral states.

It's a one party system.
