Another share-worthy article. Thank you, Leah Watson. Changing the subject though, is anyone fooled by these commenters who come here and use ad hominem for their ridiculous arguments? It's actually laughable. The behavior proves the establishment is desperate, that much is certain.

There are one or two individuals who are so dedicated to spamming our comments section, that I occasionally wonder if it's their full-time job!

Just ignore the ad hominem comments. They need attention. Don't give it to them.

IOW don't feed the trolls.

Agree! If you look at a particular profile- misspelled words so probably a troll getting paid. Or even just an angry person. I won't name names, but some are very obvious.

Leah Watson you've written a superb article that really explains the situation very well!

I can tell you that it is the same for people from the Republican side of the aisle. The game is to keep the power in Washington and they don’t really care who wins as long as it’s a horse race. That gives them the best chance at raising money for the way they like to live.

I’m always plastering your wall with my essays so forgive me!

Excellent and clear explanation of our populations are controlled. But history and evolution prove it doesn’t work. Onward to unity, saving our planet and ourselves. It’s our 7th generation obligation.

I don’t know about America but in the UK nobody ever voted for the party system period. It was imposed on us, we have an effective two party system too but it is under threat from Reform.

However all the establishment needs to do is paint them as racist and far right and bang the two party system returns.

Vote for the individual NOT the party.

As a non-American, I simple can’t understand how the power to control candidate debates is left to the MSM like ABC, FOX etc.

With the number of critical campaign issues on the table, from wars to inflation to declining American

health spans and even life spans, it would only seem reasonable for THE PEOPLE to have control over the number and timing of public debates. And without mandated public debates, it is corporate control behind the scenes that gets to direct the conversation.

Awesome, Leah. Thank you.

Ranked Choice Voting would solve a lot.

But there are a lot of details that depend on the party system, such as the minority/majority leader, rules in House and Senate, etc.

Here's how news media is writing RFK Jr. off:

"RFK Jr. is ‘null and void’ for the rest of the election after voters join Harris"

There are certain policies on which the two parties are alike, namely spend, spend, spend. However, you ignore important differences on matters like the economy, taxation, illegal immigration, DEI nonsense, the Middle East, government handouts (for housing, electrification), energy policy. These are important differences, but by all means vote for RFK Jr. if you can if you think he represents differences.
