Will Bunch expresses what I’ve been thinking since Trump was elected. American democracy is under attack from within. The fascists who yearn for an authoritarian government in the media are promoting it, and the media who supposedly don’t support it fail to recognize it. They are busy trying to follow the political playbook of the 20th century.

    I truly wish there was a party for you. It sucks we only have two parties to choose from that are basically polar opposites.

    My only pitch is to ask, of the two, which do you think is more likely to “make room” for more third parties?

      Neither frankly. We get to choose between hard R or soft R these days.

      We need universal healthcare, UBI, labor unions, etc…Neither side is going to provide those things without a bloody revolt.

      Which brings me back to my original post. That’s what media missing…There’s a huge swath of people in the middle that are simply not affected by the fringe issues and we are at best simply ignored, or as you can tell from the replies absolutely hated.

      I see why people are becoming radicalized.
