    As I said before, both of these parties represent the status quo so there’s no motivation for them to create any meaningful policy when they know they’re still going to retain roughly 50% of the government at any given time.

    Democrats have held a super majority multiple times over the years and the best we got from that was a Republican crafted healthcare plan that cemented the role of private insurers into law and ensured that there’d be zero political will to meddle with healthcare again for a very long time. That’s the best we get from them even after being good little minions and ensuring they could control the whole show with our votes.

      None of that addresses my critism of your point of view.

      This is literally advocating for inaction. Not even local participation or groups they can support in the meantime to achieve your goals.

      Well I think I’ve got as much out of this as I possibly can. At this junction I will agree to disagree.
