    The United States doesn’t have a left wing. Only a right wing that’s slightly less extreme right wing than the extreme right wing.

    Your two party system has fucked you over for a whole century.

      The core issue is not the two-party system, that’s just the cherry on top of the pile of shit that capitalist “democracy” is.

        I know. But the two party system does prevent everyone from ever being able to vote on a better alternative unless an insurmountable number of people vote for some third party.

      There are a lot of us with zero political power, and then there’s liberals and Neo liberal parties. I imagine it’s pretty similar in EU or anywhere in the west really. Imperial core & all that

        Not really. The EU has many representative democracies. Not every country here is cut from the same cloth, with better or worse representation for multitudes of political idealogies. But there is still significantly better representation than the US.
