Not at all. If you re-read my post and try and to see a view point instead of just being argumentative for no particular reason and try and be pragmatic.
Sutterbrother was mentioning how unfair elections in America have been to the Democratic party, how they struggle to get financing, struggle to win due perceived unfair rules and more. Nonsense as the Democratic party has won plenty of elections fair and square. It's a democracy and it's healthy for the Democrats to win. Timun: Don't feel sorry for the Democrats or the Republicans and their parties. Feel sorry for the people. Democrats and Republicans aren't struggling.
It's also healthy for America and democracies across the board for OTHER political parties to actually win elections. Process that.
Given your posting history I am sure your 100% comfortable with Democrats wining 100% of elections in America but I am sure your not exactly thrilled with Conservatives being in power for 50+ years in Alberta for the most part and would just absolutely loved if Conservatives won every election until your death in Canada??
I am joking of course but in democracies, YOU NEED THE POWER TO SHIFT BACK AND FORTH. Just like in sports!!! Think with your brain.
You think if the Democrats continued to win forever that would be good for the nearly 50% of America? Or Vice Versa? It's healthy for back and forth.
If the Democrats lose this election, it's their own fault for not kicking an unwanted, aging candidate who struggles. I don't want another Trump Presidency but if we are expecting an 82 year old man who's been in top level power for 50 years to get er done in America, we are probably in for a rough wake up call.
Explain why changing of parties in democracies across the board is a bad idea to you?
