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.

So through a very narrow lens?
It's the lens I value. I very much desire to bring a 白-polairty party into power.
That's fine, but "Not 白" is objectively not "Equal" and having a world view that ignores this is incredibly ignorant. It's absolutely within your rights to have it, though.
Naturally. 白 and 黒 parties cannot coexist since their ideologies directly oppose the other. If 白 is to win, 黒 must go. If you knew first-hand how stable 白 parties are over 黒 parties like the Democrats and Republicans, you would agree that 白 is the better long term option.
I don't disagree with you, but you're distilling a very complex landscape into a binary. Essentially "Good" and "Bad."
Yes, both main parties in the US are bad, but that kind of thinking gets fascists elected. They are -not- the same because the reality of the situation is not binary.
Lets change 白 and 黒 to Good and Bad, and re-read your argument:
It's a logically sound point, I just don't see what you're trying to say with it. We don't have any 白 parties to choose from, but one of the two 黒 parties is at least keeping a facade of decency. That's exploitable until we can get a 白 party elected.
The problem in the US is that most of us can't be inconvenienced enough to actually educate ourselves, while we blame the government for not educating our children.
I will die of old age before a 白 party appears, if I cooperate with the 黒 parties. And the 白 and the 黒 hate each other; the 黒 will never willingly let the 白 take power. It doesn't matter how nice the 黒 parties are; they HATE the 白 parties for ideological reasons. There's no way around this - they truly are an existential threat to the other.
Therefore, the only real way to get a 白 party to take power is to overthrow the 黒 parties and install a 白 party. Or, wait until the 黒 parties are sufficiently weakened from infighting and civil war to allow a 白 party to take over. I see no scenario where the 白 can peacefully take power in a 黒-dominated country. Or vice versa.
And the education issue is precisely why it is imperative the 白 take power. Their political system desires to give people a proper education for the purpose of societal stability. The 黒 are far too fickle with education.
Okay, sure. Good vs Evil. I get it. And "We can only demonstrate our moral superiority by force."
That's old style thinking. Those ways never last because they rely on creating a new power structure that will eventually become corrupt.
Now is the time to learn. It's what the upper classes fear most. We control nations with our voice, not violence. We just have to wake the fuck up and realize it.
