To oversimplify it, "I'll preserve coal jobs" (not exact quote) was a vote-winner a while ago. It's incredible that there's a political party holding the world hostage with its temper tantrum of "If the other side wants it, we're against it!", but hey, that's how it currently is.
- JasonFruit 4y agoIf I can take the outrage down a notch, political parties survive and thrive on opposition, especially in a two party system. "If the other side wants it, we're against it" is the motto of both American political parties. A voting system that could encourage a multiplicity of political parties, reducing the attractiveness of pure opposition, would be a huge improvement to American politics.
- gedy 4y ago> there's a political party "A" political party?
- robertlagrant 4y agoPerhaps it's a commentary on how similar the US political parties are. The tone of the comment suggested the commenter is from the US, and thus the US is the only place :-)
- gedy 4y agoYeah it amuses me how the Democratic and Republican parties and their politicians are so similar practically speaking, but the party-goers(?) scoff at this and try to explain how different they are. I assume to make themselves feel better for voting for one or the other.
