No, it’s not parties that are entrenched, it’s laziness and complacency. America could have a viable third party, the status quo could be shaken. But it would require a bit more drastic measures than just canvassing and making YouTube videos. It would require an election boycott campaign to shake the legitimacy of your democracy (and with two parties that serve the same corporate master, just how legitimate is it in the first place?), it would entail a period of instability with perhaps something even worse than Trump emerging for a while…
But by and large, Americans are comfortable. Despite the economic downturns, despite the drug zombies in the streets, most Americans are not ready for the hardcore sacrifices that are necessary to drastically change a political system.
So you trudge along, always choosing between two piles of shit, carefully weighing which pile is a bit smaller and stinks just a bit less. And you say, this is democracy in action!
I’m not the one in an echo chamber darling. Dems are as delusional and as cultish in the protection of their cult leader as Republicans. MAGA is no different than BlueMAGA
Much less of one than what happened under Trump. When disaster struck, Trump’s first thought was to bail out big companies over actually helping the people. Infact frequently he put the people dead last. At least Biden has done and tried to do a few things for the common person.
No, things aren’t rosy. What happened under trump was a corporate apologist shitshow though.
Luckily for Americans, Biden is the scourge of corporate America…
What do you want me to say? The choice was between total shit and kinda shit. That’s what’s wrong with the two party entrenchment

So, exactly what we have right now?
Lol. Imagine watching Trump during covid and then thinking “exactly what we have right now”. What a trash take.
Oh. I guess your username is accurate! Well!
Then you need to pay closer attention
Given how easy it’s been to prove you wrong with actual events. Pretty clear you’re in an echo chamber of your own.

Pffffffffft! You make me laugh. Why don’tcha head back on over to Hexbear? I’m sure they’ll love you and your delusions.
