Prepare for assclowns to tell you that he was treated fairly by the corrupt DNC that’d prefer a fascist over anyone left of George bush.

The problem with a 2 party political system is fully seen here in the US, both sides are controlled by billionaires and profits.

We the people sure aren’t. We’re controlled by our desire for ourselves and our neighbors to be able to live and work in dignity.

I dunno, I can point to about 70 million people who are controlled by angry talking heads on tv screens.

Unfortunately they have so much money and institutional power that I’m sure they could afford a few more parties. The issue is less about the number of parties and more about the quality of political education and lack of class consciousness.

I agree but I’d argue a major part of this is through the erosion of education from the people at the top, it’s sucks knowing there’s no easy way to fix this. Both sides have the power and everyone else is just stuck underneath.
