    I’m not an american, but it seems like the only way americans will be represented by their government is if they out the 2 party system.

    There’s this vibe of self-destruction in american society that is rooted in the 2 party system: one party is your mortal enemy and another doesn’t quite represent you - so everyone just low key feels like destroying the whole thing rather than working on making it better.

      America will never be fixed because that would require all anericans to look inward and accept their shortcomings. Americans are incapable of doing that

    Reading through his wikipedia article I am not surprised that he is not endorsed by the dnc. He is (was?) a shithead regarding so many things and is literally a political minefield.

    That being said … Anything is better than the alternative.

    The DNC snubbing Platner is literally the only decent thing they’ve done in a long time.

    The man is a cryptofacist murdering psychopath. I read his reddit history. I know what blackwater and Abu Ghraib are. If there was any justice in the world, this guy would be tried for his crimes and locked away for life.

    The idea that Jon Stewart, a Jew, is simping for a guy with a Nazi tattoo he took 40 years to cover up is remarkable.

      Cool story can’t wait to vote him in anyway. He’s running on a progressive pro-labor platform. It’s popular across the aisles and this weak smear campaign has done nothing to hurt him. yet here you are still repeating it. If he’s a Nazi than what is Susan collins. Who would you chose? Susan collins?

        smear campaign

        I read his public reddit posts bragging about murder, looked at his lifelong Nazi tattoo (before he covered it up for office), and formed the only possible conclusion an honest person could.

        Alas, your pivot into trolley problems further entrenches your liberalism. Good luck with the Nazi shit when capitalism continues to degrade.
