Not too long and it definitely make sense, actually the only good one yet. So I will also make a lengthy response, not to convince, just enjoying the discussion.
About resistance, I think its normal, and the reason why echo chambers exist, It s comfortable. The vitriol is just useless noise.
I am not from USA, and watch the situation as an outsider, has its pro and con. I don’t get to see all the intricacies, but I do have a good view of the big picture.
The two party system. To me that is a myth, or rather a self fulfilling prophecy or societal ruts . It is not in the constitution or laws that there should be only two parties. Its a very damageable system that is held up by the two parties. Independent candidates don’t get that much hate because they don’t threaten the status-quo. It would be in the best interest of all, left and right to break that status-quo. Calling third party votes as wasted is ignoring politic mechanics. The big party call those wasted because they don’t want to lean far enough to actually get those votes being, scared to lose more from the other side.
AOC talking about Jill Stein, I haven’t watched, just got the jist of it from the headlines, and comments on the posts. That is why I started with, I don’t know if she is honest or not. AOC is a credible politician, does she have a legitimate concern ? Probably. Is she doing a hit job due to the two party system? Also possible. Probably a bit of both, they need all the votes they can get. Now, the interview I linked to, does include Mme Stein, but I was bringing attention the the other people in the report. Why are they not satisfied with the democrats proposal?
I have no clue who Yang is or what he ran for. I will refrain from checking it out, so here are some platitudes from an outside perspective;
Being upset that someone runs for an elected position not because of his policy proposal. : you should advocate for numerous candidates, you might finally go from illusion to actually having choices.
He has no experience, he had no chance: Runners rarely win their first marathon, it should not stop them from joining. It keeps the experienced runners from taking a nap.
he was making a mockery of the entire thing by simply being there. : That must be the least offensive way the entire thing has been made a mockery of in the last decade.
without real plans to win, it’s just influencer shit and scamming people out of their money, at best,: Depend on your actual goal, sometimes you win, not by being elected, but just shake things up, clear the stale air.
and straight up evil political deception on a massive scale for personal gain, at worst: Yes that is a possibility, bu it also apply to those with an actual plan to win.
I am not sure i managed to put it down right, but replying to you had me think on all of this as well. So thank for the opportunity, no matter if you agree or not, hope you also get something out of it.
