    Enjoy descending further into fascism then, because that’s clearly the direction we’re ratcheting towards.

      Your plan is to break the ratchet, sending us careening right in hopes that a new party can gain traction fast enough to overcome both Democrats and Republicans before the country is completely lost. Terrible idea.

        What you described does sound terrible, but those are your words not mine. The establishment politicians are already a uniparty serving only the rich and corporations and careening ever rightward towards full on authoritarianism.

        What I’m claiming is that if you give the American people an actual choice, many would be surprised at how much support progressive politics receives. If we added in a national voting holiday to further enable democracy, the tides would turn in a single election cycle.
