      Then there is no democracy.

      A vote for Biden is a vote for Genocide.

      A vote for Trump is a vote for Genocide.

        That’s not true either, it is simply that democracy is complex and messy. Vote in primaries, campaign for better candidates, and pay money to organizations that support the things that matter most to you.

          Yeah before you start talking about student loans maybe you should adress the “committing genocide” part.

          It’s like saying “yeah I voted for Hitler, he was big on our forgiving ww1 loans! The Nazi stuff doesn’t really affect me so I don’t care about it.”

      There’s a whole Wikipedia page of dominant parties that reigned supreme as a duopoly in this country until a third party came along and dethroned them. What you just said shows a shocking ignorance of history. Vote whig.

        There is a whole Wikipedia page showing changes in name. The function of the first past the post system means these are fundamentally the same constructs with different branding. If a party replaces democrats or republicans, then we will be back in the same place in an election cycle.
