Trump was not falling for the third-party trick. IMHO that voting yes on something I don't like to get something I do like is a flawed system. Political Parties are tribalism. I want to vote no or yes according to what the bill is for according to my morals, not compromise my morals. Same thoughts regarding Plea Bargaining, what a travesty.

USA is a republic. the democrat party started by trying to drag slaves back to the plantation, and that's how it will end.
the GOP started as an attempt to free people, and that's what it's doing today.
the more dangerous something is to the puppet masters, the more they will try to infiltrate it. that's why USA is so corrupt... because it's the leader of the free world.
doesn't make sense to hate something that has become corrupt tho. you remove the cancer and bring it back to health. you clear out the infestation and clean the place up.

It's why churches' top administrations are as corrupt as they are, as well- evil must compromise them to push as many away from being saved as possible, and continue to attack them, especially the most effective/true ones. Megachurches don't get burned down.
When the Dems claim Meh Democracy aren't they actually saying that Felons who had their voting rights restored (Often undeservedly these days), Insane People, and people with Dementia should all have an equal say? In my view Felons having their votes restored should have to have proved they deserve the reenstatement.
People who are insane or suffering dementia should not be allowed to vote at all.
I'll stick my neck out and say since the average Joe on the street really doesn't care and participates shouldn't be allowed to vote. If you don't understand the issue maybe you will actually choose poorly, NOT what you would choose if you were well informed. I have seen people who vote the opposite way they wish by trick wording.
and that's basically the difference between a republic and a democracy. a republic includes discussion and has to make sense.
this is why pure democracy is such an effective tool for division. coincidentally, the 'de' in democracy comes from the same root as the 'de' in demon. and that root word 'deh' means 'to divide'.

Yeah, meh Democracy appeals to the lazy, underachievers, and the mega-rich
That's why voting was limited to property owners when the country began; it was those with a vested interest.
I would say taxpayers now, but I'm still hoping that taxes are eliminated.
Owning property gives a person a sense of responsibility that simply paying taxes doesn't.
I'm all for that, and I no longer own property in the USA, but if voting was done that way things would be different, and owning land would be a better option. Maybe the concept could apply to other assets, not just land. Interesting to contemplate.
I don't agree with everything popular among Republican politics. So why should I have to vote for someone who supports a cause I do not just to get a cause I do support possibly put in place?
I don't buy into the whole if you raise wages it just gets passed along and that wages are the sole issue to increased prices.
When you work for someone under the labor laws that your micro-business under the labor laws, and just as Mcdonald's charges as much as they can get for that Big Mack, you deserve all you can get as a worker. Since WEF has been controlling the economy by using the Petrodollar it's not a fair playing field they can stack the free market for labor in their favor.
The peak of the buying power of the Minimum wage was in 1969, so the lower end is lower. Then cap that off with fewer benefits to boost. Less than half of the USA workforce has meaningful benefits these days.
If all the automation of fast food is caused by labor costs. Why was Mcdonald's (And other Fastfood chains) installing automation where the labor cost was 8 dollars a day in the Philippines? Apparently labor costs are the only issue involved.
Payroll taxes are minimal there, there no FICA matching, No Unemployment or Workers' comp. Payroll taxes are paid by the Employee only.
As far as profits, those can be manipulated. As an exaggerated example I'm sorry Joe we need to spend 99.99 of the 100 bucks you bring in as revenue, you get the 1 cent.
Sole Proprietors and partnerships have a lot less unfair leverage and more incentive to give any employees a fair free market wage.
Corporations are just part of the evil machine.
this is pretty easy to answer, imo. the two party system was born out of a WAR, and that war has never ended. the enemy has been trying to seize power by any means necessary. they have their own political party, and the party that was created to oppose it has also been infiltrated.
as in any war, you don't get to pick and choose the parts you fight for. all you can do is get on the right side and try to win.
of course it doesn't make for an ideal political system... but you can't have ideal politics when you're at war.
Yeah,
Who says that wages are the sole cause of high prices? Lol, Dems? Trump has a sound grasp of the energy, tariff and tax situation. Regulations, illegal immigration, and wasteful spending as well. Would you not say all of the above increase inflation/ our cost of living?
Your grasp of the part that affects your take home pay is commendable, but I would say those are symptoms that may serve to awaken normies, but the root causes need to be addressed strongly and we must all support the demolition of the old oligarchic oppressive structure and support good rebuilding, reestablishment of civic duty and vigilance to prevent communism from infiltrating and corrupting the best country in the world.
Very articulate. Price commercial space here. The government has actively pushed up rental prices. If you don't charge fair market rent you can be liable for taxes on the amount you were under fair market.
Tribalism never works!
I also want parties to go away!
Vote on issues, take power away from the political class.
Can the youngens still have keggers?
