      Definitely but don’t downplay that democrats play dirty too, Bernie got screwed twice or how about the green party. Might be the way the game is played but not very democratic IMHO

        True, Bernie got screwed and we’re in a worse place for it. But if we knew the amount of damage that Trump would’ve caused I think a lot more people would’ve voted Democrat.

        Sounds like a “both sides” argument. What the democrats did years ago is not really relevant to the current situation.

          I think it’s worth keeping the idea of party reform in mind. If fascism is successfully repressed there will be significant changes that are long overdue

            Break the two party system by getting states to implement Proportional Representation voting or Ranked Choice voting. I think the PR system in Sweden is very good.
