https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-64193932 [www bbc co uk] McCarthy gets HR chair position after 15th round of voting.
*Sigh* I was hoping that we'd get someone who could unite the #twin_parties and work cooperatively to benefit the nation's people.

Dang, Rep. McCarthy, can you not see that they don't want you as the leader of the House of Representatives? Stand aside and let someone else try to unite the #Twin_Parties.

@clacke The thing is, the #twin_parties seem to have been taken over by extremist ideologies. They do try to pick messaging that resonates, but each party has its bands of extremists that it caters to with those messages.

> Elections should, at least in theory, be enough to remove representatives who are no longer representing you. With congressional reps having something of a 90% re-election rate, but like an 8% approval rating, I'm not sure if the problem is only a "lesser-of-two-evils" issue, or if voters like THEIR congressman, but think everyone else sucks.
@fu The #twin_parties go out of their way to ensure that elections cannot easily overturn non-representative representatives. I'm sure you've heard of gerrymandering, but that's only part of what the parties do to deprive people of viable choices and stick them with the same crop of do-nothing-for-the-state's-people candidates.

This guy next to me is listening to a #Trump interview about #RU_vs_UA and the economy.
I know that Trump produced better economic !econusa results for Black and Hispanic Americans than any previous president, but I think it was mostly accidental. I don't pretend that putting him back in office would produce similar results.
I am really not used to hearing this sort of stuff at work. These last few days in #NYC could get a little rough.
And please, please, #twin_parties, let us not have a rematch of the 2016 election. Let both of those candidates go home and walk on the beach, pondering where they went wrong.

@clacke RE: https://nu.federati.net/url/285167 [www marketwatch com]
As a former business major, I was once a Republican myself. The Grand Old Party that I knew, or at least the California branch, would not have elected her in the first place. She would have been called un-American, and every well-known party official would have come to town to campaign against her in the primary.
And that suggests a strategy that they can use if they are sincere about not wanting her in office any more. Surely, there is a sane person in that part of Georgia that can run against her in November. Maybe two: one in each of the #twin_parties.

Are right-wing extremists' #anti-mask & #anti-vax beliefs causing the "R" side of the #TwinParties to go extinct? https://nu.federati.net/url/284127

#NYState politics seem a little warped https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/new-york-democrats-buffalo/ [www thenation com]
Can we just dump the #twin_parties entirely?

Accidentally got into a political discussion with my mom. It was not fun.
Sorry, but I donβt support either of the #twin_parties or their candidates. I normally donβt even vote them.

"If you're having trouble deciding between me [Joe Biden] and Donald Trump, you ain't Black!"
I'm having no such trouble. Most likely, as November approaches, I'll take a look at third party candidates and choose one of them to receive my vote. I haven't voted for #twin_parties presidential candidates in sixteen years.
And, yes, I am Black.

Today is "Super Tuesday", in which voters in 14 states choose the person they want to be their party nominee. #California is among those states.
Reminder that if you're not completely satisfied with your party's choices, it is okay to vote for someone from another party or from no party at all.
You don't have to let the #twin_parties enslave your mind and wreck your future.

I'm registered "Decline to state" (not a member of any party), because I don't want to support either of the #twin_parties and I haven't found a minor party that aligns with my views.

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com No idea yet. The ones I've looked at are diarrhea splatters on the sides of society's toilet bowl, but I've only looked at #twin_parties candidates so far.

#Vox examines the similarities and differences between Bernie #Sanders and Elizabeth #Warren https://nu.federati.net/url/257341 [vox]
As you know, I generally avoid #politics and #pollies (politicians). But Iβm reading a little bit more these days in preparation for the election in November. So far, Iβm still not likely to support any #twin_parties candidate. #uspol

Congratulations, David, you've discovered that the #twin_parties and people holding extreme left / right political views hate their opponents, believing those opponents to be immoral and unethical at their core.

I've said for years that taxes must rise (or spending must decrease, but I don't see any evidence that either of the #twinparties will ever do that). Although the article doesn't say it, the national debt and the annual federal deficit have been hitting "record levels" just about every year, probably since at least 2001.
-
@kai I'm not part of either of the #TwinParties, but I'd be surprised (again!) if Trump was re-elected. I am aware that the US economy is doing better now than it has in twenty years (that's the administrations of Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama), but the key under-30 voters weren't old enough to remember.
-
As appealing as it is to blame T-rump, the truth is, Congress still has not sent something for him to sign or reject. The partial government shutdown is a failure of *congressional* leadership, a failure on both sides of the #Twin_Parties in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
.
Now once they pass a funding bill, then T-rump can mess things up further by rejecting it. But the blame isn't his yet.

@alpacaherder ISTM the congressionals from both sides of the #Twin_Parties have failed to do their jobs once again.
