[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ And to your question, OP...

... a lot of people don't fit into Republican or Democrat belief systems. I'd say, most people, if they pause to think about it!

So you have to look past the label.[/quote]

There is an easy way to tease this out.

On Election Day 2024, did you think Trump was an acceptable outcome or not?

PP you replied. Most emphatically not! :-)

But to be honest, I think there's a significant correlation between the MAGA portion of the political spectrum and low IQ people (plus billionaire backers who benefit from a stupid populace). Moderate voters on either side of the aisle can all be decent, humane people with similar values. But the existence of a two-party system is what's killing us right now and what's impeding the ability of all moderates to come together. Other democracies have a multiparty system, and fluid coalitions between those parties is what stops policy disagreements from progressing into the fear and loathing we see today in US politics.

We desperately need a multiparty system here in the US. That way, everyone can find their tent, and also ally with the tents slightly to the left or slightly to the right when it comes to putting a candidate in power, which effectively dilutes any extreme actions any party can implement, even if they get to power. It works for other democracies: for example, Italy, who elected "far-right" leader Georgia Meloni, governs from the middle of the right, instead of implementing straight up neofascist policies.

Our government doesn’t function properly when an entire political party craps on traditions, norms, good faith, ethics, laws, and the constitution.
