Jon Stewart torched the DNC and Democratic leadership as "lost" after learning from a candidate with a massive lead that he's heard zilch from the party.
You can indeed have better governing by a multi party system. But then again how would you americans know? Oh wait, you are somehow different then everyone and even trying something different is crazy.
Enjoy your rapidly collapsing empire I guess. You have truely tried nothing and are all out of ideas after all.

Glances at German, the UK, France, and Canada
I’m still waiting for these bets to pay out.

Because we’re not trapped in the fucking basement. Countries with multi-party systems have the exact same basket of Principle-Agent problems suffered by US constituencies. The Two-Party system is endemic of partisan entrenchment and FPTP elections and a bunch of other archaic proto-democratic procedural relics. But a Three-Party system doesn’t get around all the other problems of district-based representation, over-large constituencies, money in politics, private monopolies in mass media, or the simple fact that the bigger parties have all the manpower and the first selection of appealing candidates.
It should be mentioned that Donald Trump tried to run for President way the fuck back in 2000 and couldn’t even get the Reform Party endorsement. What propelled his campaign in 2016 was the obsessive media coverage that he couldn’t get sixteen years earlier.
Trump was able to tap a neglected base of voters largely concentrated in the GOP and solidify a party at war with itself under Obama. Splitting his brand of MAGA Fascism into its own partisan force leaves us with all the same problems we’re facing under a modern GOP majority.
Similarly, the Reform UK in Britain is just gobbling up all the Conservative voters. This, while the Greens and… uh… Your Party(?) are snatching up Labour. When you can only have one winner per district, multiple parties do nothing to improve individual representation, because you’re still stuck in a district that’s split 60/40 between “People who kinda-sorta agree with you” and “People who want to see you drawn and quartered”.
Ha! No, they fucked it up but they still have more then one party and the ability in their system to make more, nothing like the ruin and hopelessness of the electoral college in the states.
Don’t get me started on the French either don’t y’all still have some African colonies? shiiiiit we aint forget about why we went to Vietnam either France. I wouldn’t be throwing to many stones at glass houses but idk there’s plenty more…
Oh for sure, im just watching you guys do the same tax cuts, same attacks on speech, I just saw the PM waddle up and talk about how they were helping in Iran lmao. They’re always there. US and UK relations and political paths are always closely entwined lmao. We were best friends in Iraq. Neo con leadership doing Neo con things. Fucking UK doesn’t deserve any pardons come to think of it, thats my dad!

Whistling past the graveyard, bitch.
Yeap, but keep doing the same thing I am sure its going to change.
NONE of those nations is even 1/10 as fucked as your nation is.
Idk UK pretty much running the same script as over here just a different pace and rollout.
Ha! No, they fucked it up but they still have more then one party and the ability in their system to make more, nothing like the ruin and hopelessness of the electoral college in the states.
Also like wasn’t it UK oil companies that started this whole Iran debacle? just asking some questions here. 1960s?
Oh if your going back, keep going. Iran issues did not pop up 65 years ago.
