we have a 2 party system because we have "Winner Take All, First Past The Post" voting.
FPTP voting will always result in a duopoly because whichever side breaks ranks and goes 3rd party loses _everything_ to whichever side doesn't. Search YouTube and you'll find plenty of videos of varying detail and amusement to explain why a 2 party system is inevitable with FPTP.
As for this election, don't bother with Green. If Green (and Libertarian) are serious they'll form a coalition with each other and all o
In 2016, the Democrats' strategy was to nominate the worst possible candidate, and then try to browbeat everyone into voting for them anyway because "a vote for anyone else is a vote for Trump!" Fuck that. If Democrats really care that much about "stopping Trump," then they can damn well nominate someone who is reasonably palatable to people who aren't hardcore Democrats.

The hell she's not loud and abonixus. Did you even watch the democrat debates? She may not be yelling or interrupting, but she was definetly rude and disrepecteful to her fellow occupants of the clown car. This is the reason she was literally the first one to get kicked to the curb after that first Chinees fire drill.
Further, the ONLY reason she's Biden's VP pick is her plumbing and skin color. She was insignificant enough to not upstage Biden in the polling, but black and female enough to partly cancel
I'm curious (I don't really care) but she's loud and obnoxious seems to be a disqualifying characteristic, so loud and obnoxious compared to how ? Mother Theresa or Donald Trump.
Because if she's loud and obnoxious in an unqualifying way I'm not sure what to think of Trump.
