@freemo that would have to be a Republican then I suppose. I'm all for that party to find its way back to sanity so I can think about maybe voting for them again someday. But they have a long way to come back imho.
It's hard to imagine a Republican winning the 2024 primary who doesn't at least signal that they want to ban abortion and trans health care and increase preferential treatment of the Christian majority. I hope I'm wrong. Not to mention any critical thinking about the harms of capitalism (not that Biden is any better on that front though).
> that would have to be a Republican then I suppose.
Why would you think that? There are at least 4 choices for president in every election, and some states have quite a few more choices.

I agree about this but both in reference to the Democrats and Republicans.. both have long since devolved into insanity and of the many parties to choose from these two remain my bottom two choices.

Yup, quite a few distasteful things from the republicans that make it quite hard to support them.

Capitalism harmful, if anything we've seen the opposite that communism is harmful and capitalism far preferable.. Aside from maybe north korea I cant think of a single major country that isnt a capitalism in the world today. Most of the communist countries have long since failed.
That said, the problem with america is we have monopolies (like amazon) that have taken over our markets, which means they arent free markets anymore... The problem with america isnt capitalism (free markets) its the lack of capitalism (monopolies making the market not free)

Sorry, have to give this (correct) assessment back: You're all over the place.
Communist countries? Please define communism aside from "some dictatorship that claims the term".
Opposite? What axis is there to define opposites? This one might make sense, but you'd have to define it first.
Big agree on the monopolies though.
