These votes demonstrate that the Democratic Party functions not as an opposition but as an enabler of the Trump administration. Its priority is to ensure the uninterrupted funding of the US military while diverting popular opposition with calls for meaningless cosmetic changes to the administration’s efforts to establish a presidential dictatorship.

    The entire election system prevents third parties. MAGA took over the gop so it can absolutely happen. They aren’t all genius political actors they are fallible, have vulnerabilities and can be out maneuvered by a large enough politically active base.

      The difference is that MAGA isnt a threat to the status quo, if anything they are reinforcing the systems to protect it

        Yes it was. Status quo wasn’t fascism with Trump a dictator.

              The last 150 years of British and American history in particular, really the whole history of European (Western/white) civilization since the Holy Roman Empire. “Fascism is colonialism turned inward” and all that.

      Yes, that’s why I said you need to think outside the system. You cannot reform the Democrats, and you cannot reform the US electoral system. Revolution is absolutely mandatory for people to live free.
