Rep. Paul Gosar said that the āhomosexual-promotingā general āwould be hungā in a better society.
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) called for the execution of General Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a homophobic tirade this weekend.
In his newsletter this weekend ā published to his Congressional website ā Gosar accused Milley of being a āhomosexual-promoting-BLM-activistā who delayed the militaryās response to the January 6 riot. An election denier, Gosar has in the past claimed that he āstarted the revolution,ā referring to the insurrection.
We need more than 2 political parties to fix this shit show now, I donāt believe what weāve got now is sustainable, especially on the right.
We almost had it when the Tea Party was spinning off into their own party. However, in a grab for relevancy the GOP agreed to drink their crazy KoolAid to maintain the bodies in the GOP.
I like the Australian system better. It aināt perfect, but it is better imo. Regardless, dragging the conservatives kicking and screaming into modernity, much less the future, has thus far proven to be a mixed bag at best. The fact that theyāre currently backsliding is hard as they possibly can isnāt helping.
MMP is the ābetterā system.
No system is perfect. NZ went from First past the post (what the USA uses) to MMP.
The aus system is pretty good too, but still dominated by two parties.
Itās really three parties though, the Liberals have needed the Nationals quite often in order to gain the house. Plus last election we saw a surge in support for independents, who are actually being extremely effective in both Parliament and Senate. Lastly, year-on-year the Greens poach more from both sides as climate change becomes topical.
āVote for your preferred colour of neoliberal partyā
One party is relatively conservative and the other is batshit insane and fascist. We need a party that represents the progressive majority in this country.
FYI: There is the Forward party that is trying to get started. https://www.forwardparty.com/. They are focusing their efforts on 12 states local elections to start with. They are intentionally not trying to only compete at the federal level to start locally.
