@dangillmor When you are pervertedly rich, you can buy yourself an American President.

That's the PEAK of capitalism, Folks! Congrats ... ;-)

@davidpnice @dangillmor I know.

It would be absolutely revolutionary if Americans found a THIRD huge party that works in favour of the people of America who build the base of the Country: Labour workers.

Conquer the system by not playing by their rules. Do something very nasty ... ;-)

@PaulDavisTheFirst @davidpnice @dangillmor What choise does an American have?

In Germany for instance the social-democratic party SPD was the party for labour workers with historic reason. Then we have/had the left called Die Linke who work also in favour of the common man. We have the CDU/CSU who claim to represent the Middle - which is untrue for decades. And we have a green party as well. There is a political spectrum to choose from.

It's not one way OR the other ...

@AndyGER @davidpnice @dangillmor while I agree that we have very little choice when it comes to *parties* in the USA, the Democrats (at least) do represent quite a range of political ideology (even though the Democrat you get to vote for may not).

My point was really that the idea of "a workers' party" doesn't make much sense in the USA, where a sense of "class consciousness" is rather weak and not very definitional.
