There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day. So why is everyone behaving like normal?

Then we’re doomed because a 3rd party without voting reform would only accelerate Republican wins. And voting reform to break first past the post is unlikely at a national level.

Seems like the winning strategy here would be to find or make wedge issues to fracture the Right.

We are doomed.

Humans always seem to have this belief that every crisis must have some successful path to a solution that is actually feasible, and with minimal effort, but just like climate change, centrists will resist any actual changes until it’s too late.

An empty, pointless sentiment. Useless even if true and I have no time for useless sentiments. I’m too busy fixing stuff and doing things.

Hey, power to you. Go fix it. I won’t hold my breath, but I genuinely wish you luck.
