    We have only 2 major parties and one has been a criminal enterprise for 56 years

    • Nixon Watergate
    • Reagan: sold drugs to buy guns for guys Congress said not to buy guns for because they were mass murderers
    • Bush Sr US: helped with above
    • Bush Jr faked evidence for a war which killed half a million people and cost 6 trillion dollars also illegally tortured
    • Trump do I even need to do this one?

    At this point Trump wants to form militias to round up 25M people and drag them to concentration camps and turn the military loose on anyone who disagrees.

    This includes 11M undocumented workers who almost all live law abiding lives and Americans who were born here from above who are by our constitution citizens regardless of the status of their parents.

    He has publically called for violence, and end to our constitution, a new era where the dictator tells the government what the law is.

    It is strange for any responsible party not to oppose essentially Hitler.

      Opposing soneone is not unusual in Germany. Supporting one person or party is what does not happen here.

      I’m not a fan of the orange one… Just telling about the German view on this…

          The only way that you effectively oppose the other

          You can always vote third party if you want to pay lip service while helping the candidate you dislike

            Voting third party in a first past the post system with only 2 dominant parties not only throws away your vote. If your preference is Third party Harris Trump you are actually helping Trump win when you vote third party instead of the person who actually has a chance.

        Kind of a weird stance to find opposing someone fine but supporting someone bad. Not accusing anything, I just find that weird thinking.

          If the one you oppose is classified as far right and you print facts about them or quotes in your newspaper, it’s still something different than endorsing a specific party or person, IMO…

          We also had good and bad ads for some parties, but when it comes to only what the writers think, endorsing a specific party is just not happening like in the USA…
