None of the parties is interested in doing what you’re talking about.

Remind me cuz I seem to have forgotten which party recently busted up a union strike, which one refused to repeal Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy, and worked directly with McConnell to make the bush tax cuts for the wealthy permanent, who was the one that forced for profit health care system on us and then mandated everyone participate? Which one was it? That should have gone through the higher education act to eliminate student debt but followed a route that was destined to fail? Which one is it that is now overfunding cops to the extent of pushing and funding cop city in Atlanta, to further subjugate minority communities, which party passed a far overreaching crime bill that specifically targeted black males, and the for-profit prison system that he's used to house them in? Which party had the crime bill that was so restrictive that it went too far for even Reagan, and he had to insert it into the violence against women act so people would not vote against it, which party was that?

As things stand right now, the GOP's platform is "let's pick a scapegoat to exhume the lower classes' frustrations", while the Democrats' is "let's not do that". It's no wonder why the Dems can only garner around ~27% of all elegible votes (vs the Republicans' ~25%), most of their voters don't particularly like their politicians nor their policies, they just don't want to be governed by fucking crazies.

(Side note, I found it hilarious that the "Forward" felt like it was 1000 pages down. And reading that much BS made me feel gross.)

Ok so, the Project 2025 thing is terrifying. Their Forward is terrifying. They have no plan for making this country better for anyone except themselves. They state very clearly they want to delete anything they don't like.

They want to ban books and open discussions.

They want to deny racism exists or ever existed.

They want to deny that biology exists outside of their narrow minded beliefs.

They want to force a single religion on everyone.

They cite problems and point the finger at everyone except themselves.

As if it wasn't abundantly clear at this point based on their ACTIONS what Republican rule will be... And yet we still have millions of people fully invested in that cult of hate and fear.

I'm not American, but reading the Foreword was just plain scary to me since it comes from a major party. There's nothing about economics and all about moral outrage. You guys need to diversify your parties somehow.

The Pentagon does know where there money goes but they are never going to tell a committee of idiots who cannot keep a damn thing secret. If you can't trust even the President to not run his mouth or expose classified satellite capabilities to our enemies then why would they ever tell anyone in politics where that money is going? I want a transparent govt as much as the next person but it isn't going to happen.

Americans are wage slaves to our government

It's just do much more obvious now. The only real values holding this shell of a "party" together are fear and hatred. Emotions >> platforms/issues in modern politics. It's pathetic, and this complete death grip on a two party system will ultimately kill American democracy.

Their election system (basically winner-takes-all) pretty much guarantees that it will converge in a two-party system with roughly 50/50 share and people voting for "the lesser evil" rather than their favourite. If a third challenger appears, it will split the voter base of the more close candidate and guarantee a huge victory for the farther candidate (the opposite of what the challenger stands for). So essentially it's doomed to be a bipartisan circlejerk unless the election system itself is changed.

There are more parties than two, they just aren't very popular

There are rural Democrats. You know that, right? It's not a monolith.

Rural people are the foundation of this country and need the most support for they often are over looked. Probably because they vote for people that don't have their well beings in mind.

You seem to be implying that the only "real" working class people are rural. Do all the working class folks that live in the burbs and cities not count?

The only reason I dislike them is because they actively vote against their best interests for the people who are fucking this country and planet into the ground. I just don't understand them... As people, they're fine. Voters, not so much.

Rural people as in the people who consistently vote for and cheer for all the vile shit Republicans want to force on us? Gosh, why would we have anything against those people?
