- wkat4242 1y agoYeah I'm glad I don't live in a two party state. The zero sum game politics that results in rips the country apart. You see this in the US and also in the UK (Brexit etc)
- sunaookami 1y agoIt's not better in countries with multiple parties where nearly everyone (every relevant party) wants authoritarianism in the name of "fighting hate speech".
- johnisgood 1y agoIt is all the same, under different names. Plus even in countries with multiple parties, it is usually only two parties that have a chance, but again, they usually (or always) have a similar (or the same) goals.
- wkat4242 1y agoNot really, in Holland we usually have a coalition of at least 3 parties in government. No one party is ever big enough to have a majority. And yes they are quite different. This makes coalitions difficult to form and very unstable but I still far prefer it over a two-party system.
- johnisgood 1y agoHere in Hungary we have many parties, but only two parties have the chance to win.
- riffraff 1y agoI assumed that meant "the other side of the conversation", e.g. "all parties involved".
- dguest 1y agoI assumed they meant Republicans/Trump, but it's a bit confusing because those parties aren't very popular in the EU: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2025/06/11/confidence-in-trump/ https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2025/06/11/confidence-in-... whatever your political alignment, saying the situation in the US is problematic might sell pretty well in the EU.
- cptskippy 1y agoDon't be obtuse to make a point, the OP specifically stated they were in the United States.
