11 hours ago11 hr Sorry to say this, but you’re not becoming a laughingstock - you already are. It’ll take multiple presidencies to even begin rebuilding your image on the world stage and restoring any real credibility. America’s brand has been thoroughly tarnished in just six months.

5 hours ago5 hr A multiparty system just doesn’t work in America, because of how voting is set up. It’s winner-takes-all, so smaller parties don’t stand a chance, they just end up spoiling the vote. People stick to the big two out of fear that their vote won’t count, so unless the whole system changes, it’s stuck that way. On the other hand, a real multiparty system could ease constant polarization by giving people more choices and common ground.

On the other hand, a real multiparty system could ease constant polarization by giving people more choices and common ground.The truth is that the US and much of Europe is in what historians would call the final stage of civilization (winter) where the problems are increasing in number, largely driven by the capitalistic system that isn't working well anymore. There seems to no realistic solutions at all to reverse the negative trends.Typically a 'hard reset' is required, with violence, when the system is broken (French revolution/Napoleon, Russian revolution, Chinese Civil war, Nazi Germany, etc.).To solve the current problems, both the Democrats and the Republican parties need to be destroyed, along with the entire government. In Russia, China, Germany and France they mass murdered or imprisoned, in huge numbers, the groups that were getting in the way of a hard reset.But in the US/Europe we are in a situation where people aren't starving to death and aren't willing to fight and die for what they believe in. They talk a lot but act very little. So we continue lingering in this state. There is a lot of verbal/psychological violence but not so much in terms of physical. (yet...)In a culture where people act more than talk like you see in earlier times people like Elon Musk, Trump, Biden, Bush etc. and other oligarchs/politicians would have been assassinated long ago. In Roman Empire they certainly would have killed them all.
