    I wouldn’t be surprised to find out both sides really are the same

    Until 2016, I did see the two major political parties in the USA as two sides of the same broken coin. Trump brought out something ugly I thought we’d left in the past.

      there is something to be said about centrist democrats being perfectly willing to share power with republicans, but yeah, Trump is a whole 'nother level of evil. It’s like not just saying the quiet part out loud, but more like screaming the quiet part of what the intrusive-voice-in-your-head says. if that makes sense.

      part of the reason we’ll likely never move beyond the 2 party system is because it’s better to share power than it is to risk losing it all.
