    In the highly destructive partisan environment of current politics the voter is faced with two poor choices. While a split between Congress and the Executive Branch used to be a moderating influence on the power of either branch, today it is no longer a brake, but means a near full stop on governing.

    Alternatively, voting in super-majorities in both houses and electing a President of the same party increases the likelihood of "tyranny of the majority." I know it hasn’t always worked that way in the past, but the recent past has seen nothing like the "party over country" attitude that now infects the US of A.

    Either alternative represents another brick in the wall.

    Unless our useless Congress decides to vote for term limits i.e 6 years. were headed down one long road to failure as a country.

    I think that's is the only thing that could possibly save us. The system as is constructed is killing us.

    And no, I dont think they are going to vote for it.

    FEC commissioner said today the election results could take days/weeks to "know". Judging by how New York handled "mail in votes", this is going to be a fucking shit show.

    the fact that joe biden says he wont choose a man for VP no matter how qualified is a disgrace.

    if the most qualified person in the world turned out to be a black man, he would not pick him because he (biden) is a bigot.

    While I think Trump is not far from the devil incarnate, this is the awful alternative.
