    If I would live in America, I would not fight against republicans nor democrats.

    I would fight against gerrymandering, against the pardon rule, against winner takes it all, against death penalty, against no absolute majority requirement, against hate in general, against police brutality, against unregulated capitalism, against destruction of nature, against CO2 pollution, against frekking (damn no clue how to write that, but what I mean is the way of getting gas that makes burnable gas coming out of the water giving thingy above the sink), against in-transparency of government (make it more transparent and better controllable by demo (demo is the word for all the people living there and is part of the word democracy (democracy meaning power to the people))), against healthcare only being accessible if you are rich, and against all the things I forgot on this list.

      If you lived in America, the Republicans would be putting you in a fenced off area with tents, with minimal food and water, and with no ability to contact a legal representative.

      Because people aren’t choosing the DNC, this is happening to people just like you. The things you listed are happening because people don’t support the DNC. Progress isn’t happening because the DNC haven’t had more than 50 seats in over a decade, conservative reforms are actively making everything worse over time.

          So you at least admit that we need to start with voting DNC as a bare minimum, to remove every GOP possible.

            Yes, 100%

            Never had an other opinion.

            Voting democrats is the way to go, because they at least seem to listen, and would make violence free change away from this two party system more a possibility (like a president needing to have absolute majority to win and therefore opens gate for third parties).

            But as counter argument, you could say, voting republicans brings more anger into more people and therefore motivates more people to stand up for change, reaching a critical mass you would not have if dems are in power. Of course, with high risk of violence.

            I personally am against violence, therefore, I would vote dems, if I’d be living in America and am allowed to vote.
