    MAGAts and Tankies got hit on the head by a horseshoe.

      I think it’s more stethoscope theory than horseshoe theory.

        Technically correct, although I wonder whether it would be easier to challenge the system under the “nothing will fundamentally change” party or the “We are actively and gleefully changing things for the worse” party…

          Best is to organize the working class behind a 3rd party.

            That would be best, yes. Is there a 3rd party in the US that already exists that could be organized behind?

                Same. And yeah, from what little I’ve heard of them, they do seem better. Unfortunately, it will take some time and promotional support until they can win elections. And in the meantime, it’s sadly red vs blue.
