• Contrary to the us system that inadvertently creates a two-party political landscape where only two party ideals can compete.

    Which I oppose and still oppose. I didn’t vote for Trump. I actually voted for the Socialis Workers Party.

    And i got banned from instances for advocating third party.

    I’m actually a socialist. I appreciate the chaos Trump is causing though. Because the Democrats refused to do anything of value, and they just made fun of anyone who didn’t agree with them. And Democrates hate the idea of third-parties even more than the republicans do.

    I was called a Nazi by Lemmy because I refused to vote for Harris. Even tho I would never vote for Trump either. lol

      Yeah let’s hope the chaos will be a catalyst for things to change but I worry people with bad intentions are more prepared to use the situation.

      Do you really believe the chaos is more likely to lead to something good, rather than break down the three-pillar checks and balances the founding fathers lined out? Trump obviously wants more power to the executive branch and has the blessing to ignore the judicial branch of government. And it might be hard to claw back once in the power balance has bern shifted.

      The two party system is obviously flawed, when people choose to vote for some one-size-fits-all compromise instead of one mirroring their political views. Because that’s what is incentivized.

      Lenny is pretty aggressive in its left leaning ideologies and I tend to lean the same way, but I also like to understand the other viewpoint.

      You say you voted socialist, but you post a lot of conservative news. Why is that? Because you want to broaden the Lemmy political spectrum or what?
