I get what you’re saying, and I agree, but at this juncture, there’s nothing to be done. We only get a duopoly because of our voting system. It’s shit, we should change it.

What’s your political alignment, friend?

We only get a duopoly because of our voting system.

We don't have a duopoly. We have a pair of regional monopolies. And it's not the voting system that gives us candidates like Eric Adams or Mike Johnson or Joe Manchin. These are the consequence of a fully captured election system.
