    US democracy is dead. None of the elected democrats are calling it for what it is because if they say the system is broken they will lose their authority instantly.

    They are pretending things are still functional so they can hang onto their power as long as possible.

    A lot of people figure they would rather be the torturer than the people chained to the wall. And thats as far as their thinking on the matter goes.

    This kind of doomer speak is like a psyop to demoralize people from voting. Republicans didn’t get fascist overnight

    The problem is the MAGAts did it to the Republican party, so now we think we can do it to Democrats.

    Two party state is the same as one party authoritarian state but with extra steps.

    Sorry, but if you have to choose which very rich guy is going to control your life, it’s not a democracy.

    Us dual party system is very close to Chinese system, and far from democracy.

        I know other authoritarian regime known for trains. It was called third Reich…

        Maybe there is no freedom, constant invigilation, laogai, using people as resources and selling them to multinational corporations so they can work their ass off manufacturing cheap goods for western corporations, but at least there are more trains. Absurdism maxing
