@efialto @nilsskirnir @rzeta0 @Bellison22 There seems to be a disconnect here, and I think I am figuring it out.

The Americans on this thread can at least agree that we need to come together in this moment, and leave inter-party squabbles in the past.

Those outside the US seem to think differently. I assume you all have good intentions, but it occurs to me that our different systems of government are causing you some confusion.

In the parliamentary system, if you have a far-left party, you can vote for them. They might win a few seats, and those representatives will form a coalition government with the more moderate left party. More far-left seats means those ideas get a bigger voice in the coalition.

In the US, that’s not an option. There are two options. Period. So turning Democrats against each other is harmful to the country, as it empowers the Republicans, who have turned into the party of Nazis.
