    And your attitude in turn is why there’s no party who represents the views of most people. You’ve already decided it’s impossible without trying, even though the majority of democracies in the developed world today are not trapped in two-party systems.

      No, not the attitude is the problem, the problem is, that the president has mot to win having an absolute majority.

      A d I think, US people would have had bigger chances achieving such rule in the voting system, if dems are in power, vs when trumpist are in power 🤗

      But proof me wrong 😁 maybe it needs this dictator-shock in order to mobilise enough people to build enough pressure to get such a rule

      There are two paths, an inside and an outside strategy. The inside strategy is far simpler, has far greater potential for success, and will harm the least people along the way. Acknowledging that isn’t “giving up”, it’s picking strategy like a grown-up, not some kid afraid to turn down a dare.

      without trying

      This is the most idiotic thing about third party advocates. There have been third parties running consistently for decades, and we are somehow supposed to pretend that that lengthy record of dismal failure doesn’t exist. Meanwhile, inside strategists haven’t won everything yet, so we are supposed to switch to a strategy with a far worse track record.
