    winning enough seats to be an impediment to Trump

    Trump was already voted out once; and in the intervening four years the Democrats proved themselves to be incapable of impeding Trump.

      How many boats of civilians did Binlden order to be sunk? How many heads of state did he kidnap or assassinate in wars of choice? How many American cities did he occupy with military units? How many of his political opponents did he have the justice department charge with baseless crimes? How many Nazis did he dine with?

      The Dems piss me off, but saying the only reasons to say they’re no different than the Republicans are:

      1. Being a fucking idiot ;or

      2. Atremptingto prop up the GOP by convincing leftists not to vote against them.

        If the goal is to change the system then voting for either one will never get you to your goal.

        I want the current 2 party system to die. And that can only happen if a third party wins. That’s in my opinion the highest priority item.

          The last time a President wasn’t a Democrat or a Republican was elected was 1848. But neither the Democratic or Republican parties resemble at all what they were in 1852.

          You don’t change the 2-party system, you change the parties themselves.
