What I said was I would prefer if Republicans were a somewhat reasonable option, that wouldn’t be taking away people’s rights or diving straight in fascism, so that voters could hold Democrats responsible.
Basically, wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to vote for a Democrat if they didn’t follow through on their promises or engaged in unethical behaviour?
Short answer: yes. I’d prefer we move away from a two party system and embrace something like ranked choice or STAR to promote more voices at the table, but that takes away power from both Dems and Repubs, so it ain’t happening anytime soon.
That sounds great too. The person I was originally replying to said they hoped Trump lost and continued to be the candidate for the next couple of elections, which would not lead to a more stable or functioning democracy. (No third party has a chance when there’s a risk of actual fascism if the Republican’s win.)
“I would prefer a functioning democracy”
“What fantasy world are you living in?”
Americans are full on drinking the Kool-aid aren’t they?
Republicans being reasonable? Reasonable Republicans holding Democrats responsible? For what?!?!
You’re down k hole and experiencing a fever dream.
And it was Flavor-Ade. Get yer shit straight.
