The Clintonian dynasty created this situation, because the worse the Republican candidate is, the less they have to promise—never mind deliver—to their constituency. How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately "elevated" Donald Trump with its "pied piper" strategy

Kamala’s entire campaign has been “I’m not trump”. Biden was the “nothing will fundamentally change” guy ffs it’s sickening

First Past The Post voting artificially limiting the viable options in the voting booth means less competition. "Safe seats" and "swing states" shouldn't exist, our legislators must be forced to compete.

I think we all understand what happens when all you have to do to win an election is be less shitty then the republican party. There is no floor, there is no bottom, and it ends in the destruction of the USA.

But I'm sure the democrats think these risks are worth taking so long as they don't have to compete for your vote.

It's not. Trump is quite vocal about his plans to "reform" healthcare.
