That was my post and I'm happy to defend it. Despite both Democrats and Republicans both winning elections on a somewhat regular basis, the overall movement of the country has been largely rightward consistently, from an economic perspective. Tax rates on corporations and the wealthy have plummeted since GWB fraudulently become president. Wealth inequality in both America and the world are at all time highs. Even Scandinavia has moved to the right economically from what they used to be. The rich are getting their way more and more over time and using culture war issues to keep the rest of us divided. The cost of living for the 99% continues to soar while the 1% go laughing all the way to the bank.
And now, they're going for the jugular. If Trump wins, any chance of a decent future for humanity goes up in smoke. Welcome to social darwinism until the sun swallows the earth.

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?

Was it healthy for German democracy for the Nazis to win?
