*A far right ultraconservative party and a fascist (going on lunatic) party, let’s call a spade a spade.
A polite fascist party and an impolite fascist party.
This ‘centrist’ hegemony is collapsing here in the UK. For generations there has been a prevailing belief that a vote for anyone outside of the Labour/Conservative duopoly would be wasted, and they have been free to abuse that. People on both the left and right are sick of it now though.
Sadly the prevailing third party is Reform which… Well, god help us all.
In the US, I think we’re starting to realize that Biden was a Republican light. There’s a sparkle of hope.
He wasn’t even Republican light. He was a first-term Trump Republican. By 2032 the entire DNC will be second term Trump Republicans
what gave it away…the republican endorsements at the DNC?
People have to vote independent. It’s that simple. If they don’t, welll… tough luck
The problem is that “independent” isn’t a coherent political ideology, it’s just a “none of the above”. Some independents think both parties are too far right, some independents think both parties are too far left, some independents are just apathetic, some are just contrarian.
People voting “independent” wouldn’t result in an “independent” candidate winning, it would result in a bunch of different candidates getting single digit percentages, and whichever major party loses fewer independents would win, just with a lower overall percentage.
So, Republicans need to vote more independent?
Yeah actually, if we could get them to throw in behind libertarians and stuff that would be cool. Unfortunately, the right’s whole thing is toeing the line.
