To get better candidates is pretty much impossible because of how candidates get selected, term limits would helpBy the way, a third ("independent") candidate in the US is completely meaningless. It has always been meaningless because of the voting system. In Greece and in other European countries, if your Party gets 3% or some other minimum, they will have some representation in the Parliament, which means that their voice will be heard, which means that even a Party of 3% makes (some) sense. In US, the 3% Party gets nothing, practically it dissolves after the elections, so it's completely meaningless. On the other hand, the US system is not that bad, because the individual Senators and Representatives have a lot of freedom in the US to say and do whatever they want. So the goal should be to elect better representatives, not to create a third party.
Here in Denmark, any party that gets more than 2 percent of the vote gets seats in Parliament. Then whatever parties that can make up more than 50 percent can form the government. It also means we currently have 12 parties, with 3 of them being in power.
It’s a pretty good system if you ask me and makes it much easier for people to vote for someone they agree with on most issues.
Having just two parties for any country, nevermind one with 350 million people, is idiotic.

Or maybe because of all the people who voted for Bush.All that because Nader wanted...

It's so silly isn't it, how can one of the most diverse populations in the world with 350M people be reduced to 2 parties?Having just two parties for any country, nevermind one with 350 million people, is idiotic.
At the town hall, Pence tried to court the protesters.
“I know the people in this movement, whether they support me or not, are the best people in this country,” he said as he pointed to the protesters in the corner of the room.
Why didn't you just go along with it?! Geez, these people. They are insane and he has to try to court them for votes and money.On Friday night, one town hall participant, Mary Bartel of Windham, asked Pence why he didn't go along with that plan. Pence explained, as he has previously to other skeptical voters, that he did not have the authority to overturn the election.
He also told her to write down and look up “Article Two, Section One, Clause Three” of the Constitution.
Does he even have the prerequisites to be on stage at the first debate?
It’s also the proverbial dog finally catching the truck. The right could always motivate their base through always fighting to get Roe overturned, but they never had anything close to a unified message & action plan once they achieved that lofty goal.In a way, the repeal of Roe v Wade is a pyrrhic victory for the Republicans, because abortion on the ballot has always gone against them even in solid red states

The more the repub party is being led by single issue activists, the better for the nation.No, don't think so, it was definitely more than a pyrrhic win for the republicans, and will continue to be so, in the years ahead.
As i've said before, republicans gets punished hard on ballot initiatives, heck, if elections was nothing but a vote, issue for issue, GOP might well be extinct at this point, but since elections are mostly "R" vs "D", partisanship takes over.
Yes, republicans have been punished to some extent in elections cause of this, but not nearly enough as should be.
And even if less and less people vote for them, they can always fall back on the electoral system in the US, a system that favors empty land over actual people.
Don't get me wrong, it was a great day for the people of Ohio, but in the end, GOP politicians keeps getting away with it, in most elections.

Without the Dobbs ruling, no doubt they win the Senate & hold the House; with the Dobbs ruling, Dems win the House back & it will be close in the Senate.And yet, they probably still ends up with the senate next year, because again, they dont need to be popular to "win" elections.
They haven't won the popular vote in a presidential election since basically forever, doubt they care though, system rewards them regardless.
What does the ‘v’ stand for?TBDVITL
What does the ‘v’ stand for?
Agreed but with both institutional Dems and Reps benefitting it's almost impossible for something to happen.
Yeah, agree. If I were to adjust it slightly I’d raise the lower limit a bit for who gets in the debates and who gets into parliament. After the proliferation on the number of parties on both extremes, there is simply too many parties represented in the debates.
It's so silly isn't it, how can one of the most diverse populations in the world with 350M people be reduced to 2 parties?
Portugal has about 11M and we have 9 parties in parliament, from trumpian proto-fascists to old school leninist communists.
I suppose you could raise the bar somewhat. In any case, I like having more choices than just Socialdemokratiet and Venstre
Yep, that’s why the ‘v’ through me off. Even went into the urban dictionary to see if I was missing something completely!Just a typo, I guess. It should be The Best Damn Band in the Land, which is the nickname for the Ohio State University Marching Band.
