      So when democrats are in power we need to close ranks to prevent the republican party from taking control, and when the democrats aren’t in power we need to close ranks to prevent the republican party from keeping control. Got it.

      Question: Do you see that you are repeating the exact failed lesson that is the basis for the article?

          See, this is why you’re full of it though. You undercut yourself:

          There are many opportunities to act in between elections, but come election time there is none.

          Guess which one applies now. I’ll give you 3 guesses.

              Don’t worry too much about it. These people aren’t going to vote anyway. Many of the most vocal aren’t even in the US.

              So first it’s the wrong time, and when you’re called on it then it’s too generic an action, despite the article citing specific actions by specific senators and representatives. Got it. I know this trick: Next it’ll be the wrong specific criticism, before everyone is racist for criticizing Cory Booker. Been down this book; can you try something new for me for once?

          There will only be two parties as long as you keep voting for the same two parties. It aint rocket science

              They will never change the system. It’s as likely as a dictatorship suddenly withering away. It’s not unheard of, but it can take decades. And them guys have nuclear weapons, so basically we’re all fucked until we dismantle america as a country, somehow.

              Honestly, our best bet would be to train separatist militias in mexican and canadians.

            Also that Constitution thing that makes it inevitable.

            So, all edgelording aside, it’s going to be the case in two years. And, very probably in six, ten, and fourteen years as well.

            Amending The Constitution turns out to be this whole thing.

          I totally get it, you were just following orders. There was no alternative but to vote for a genocider in order not to have an even worse genocider, who finally got in power and let the genocide continue at the exact same pace as before until there was nothing to bomb anymore.

          Let’s be honest here, Americans are the ones suffering the most from trump’s presidency. The rest doesnt really matter, they can die for all I care.
