What do you mean “cling to the idea they can’t be reached?” A huge portion of political spending goes towards trying to increase turnout (of the people likely to vote for you).

DOGE is basically a bunch of 25 year old know-nothings feeding budget spreadsheets and job descriptions to a chatbot and asking what to cut, so…

That’s… More or less in agreement with what I said, though? The electoral college certainly doesn’t help matters, but the same principle still holds without it, the EC just adds a second hierarchical level of fptp

It’s not like the two party system is deliberately chosen or enshrined in law. The field naturally winnows down to two parties because that is basically guaranteed to outcompete every other possibility under a first-past-the-post voting system. You want to fix the two party system, you need to fix our voting system.

Girl, I can’t keep track of who the “theys” and “girls” are enough to even have any idea what you’re talking about
