    This dude has fucked his political career and I couldn’t be happier.

    The two party system has clearly failed. It’s allowed zero pushback to Trump in the GOP and it’s made cowards of the Democrats.

    I would hope that the destruction of democracy in of itself would educate these people but I highly doubt they’ll ever learn.

      The two party system will always fail. The problem is, Durverger’s Law.

      As long as the US uses Ordinal voting systems, we will never have a viable third party. Worse, any attempt to create a third party will only siphon votes away from its ideological neighbor, resulting in the ideological opposite gaining an easy win.

      There’s a reason why Jill Stein had that dinner with Putin.
