You think democrats didn’t get enough votes because they had too much support? That doesn’t make sense.
3rd party is guaranteed to fail with first past the post. But it sounds like you’re arguing in bad faith in favor of the GOP. So maybe that’s what you want.
I’m saying that you’re wasting your time supporting a party that’s incompetent. Don’t support a third party. Destroy the Democratic Party. Below it the fuck up. Let the Democratic party die a brutal death. Start our own party.
Do I really need to post the CGP Grey video again for the 12th time? I don’t think I do. You all know the one.
You can post it if you want but you would only be proving you missed the point completely.
That’s the same as saying give the GOP all the power.
How?
Also they already have all the power.
They have a slim majority. Giving them more seats in Congress gives them the ability to pass more legislation that would otherwise not have enough votes.
You should learn about how voting in Congress works.
Their majority is overwhelming for what they need it to be. You have far too much faith in the Democrats to block the Trump administration’s movements then they deserve. Half the Democrats cave every time. Partly because half of them are actually okay with people Trump’s going to be a nominating. They want the destruction of the regulatory framework of our nation. They want a return to the Gilded Age. They work for the same people. That’s the reason why Kamala Harris was courting all those techbro billionaires who were all braying to get rid of Lena Khan. It’s going to be much easier for Trump this time. He has an overwhelming majority of the the courts, he has the expanded Powers the presidency, he has a senate majority with only a feckless minority to balance it, he also has more than enough in the house. It’s going to be much much worse.
I’m not sure why you think I’m saying the GOP will get more seats. I’m not saying we split the ticket next time around. I’m saying we destroy the Democratic party to the point they have less of a national impact than the green party has now. If we do that we’ll overwhelm the Republicans. We will win in landslides. A party that’s based on the working class. A party that’s based on actual American needs. A party that can harness the fury of an American people being oppressed by an oligarchic class? That party will be unstoppable. That party will never be the Democratic Party, ever. The Democratic party has aligned itself to become the loyal minority, that’s all they want to be. It’s not enough.
Right now republicans have about the same majority that democrats had in the last two years. Just enough to be called a majority but not enough to easily pass anything. For you to show that you don’t understand that says a lot.
No they absolutely do not, I don’t even know how you pretend to think that’s true.
Before the 2024 election senate seats were 51 democrats 49 republicans. Now it is 47 democrats, 53 republicans. Only 2 more seats than democrats had before the election.
So yes that is true and you clearly don’t know what you are talking about.
For house of reps: in 2023 democrats had 213, republicans has 222. After the elections: democrats 215, republicans 220.
So democrats gained seats in the house and again you don’t know what you’re talking about but you don’t let that stop you.
